## Message

```
languages: Fix broken whitespace for C++ (#53709)

Uses tree-sitter indent queries to create a pseudo-scope, since access
modifiers are single-node in thetree-sitter grammar.

The @outdent capture truncates the parent { } indent range at the access
specifier, keeping it at the same level as the class keyword and the
pseudo-scopes from stacking.

The @outdent range selects siblings so we don't outdent the access
specifiers themselves, since screenshots from the reference issue seem
to show that at least one interested party does not prefer outdented
access modifiers, and also it seemed like less of a departure from
existing design.

Also, there are probably more tests than needed because this is my first
time writing treesitter queries and I wanted to triple-guess myself.
Quite open too feedback on which ones are more valuable.
