This PR updates the Python built-in functions and types in Zed's syntax
highlighting query to align with the official Python 3.15 documentation.
It also backports a few missing built-ins from earlier Python versions.

**Things added**:
- Added the newly introduced
[`sentinel`](https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html#whatsnew315-sentinel)
built-in function.
- Added the new
[`frozendict`](https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html#whatsnew315-frozendict)
built-in type.
- Added `aiter` and `anext` (originally introduced in Python 3.10) to
ensure the built-ins list is complete.

With this change, Zed's built-in function list is now fully aligned with
the latest [Built-in functions in
Python](https://docs.python.org/3.15/library/functions.html).

To note, Python 3.15 introduces a new [`lazy`
keyword](https://docs.python.org/3.15/whatsnew/3.15.html#whatsnew315-lazy-imports)
for explicit lazy imports. Fully supporting this requires upstream
changes in `tree-sitter-python` (tracked in
tree-sitter/tree-sitter-python#336). Therefore, support for the `lazy`
keyword is not included in this PR.
