  1. Upgrade completions, definition, hover

    This commit is a rewrite of how language features (i.e. completions,
    definition, hover) are implemented. It improves the accuracy and expands
    the functionality of each feature significantly. Improvements include:
    - Completions
        - Trait values
        - Builtin control keys and metadata
        - Namespaces, based on other namespaces in the project
        - Keywords
        - Member names (like inside resources, maps)
        - Member values (like inside the list of operation errors, resource
          property targets, etc.)
        - Elided members
        - Some trait values have special completions, like `examples` has
          completions for the target operation's input/output parameters
    - Definition
        - Trait values
        - Elided members
        - Shape ids referenced within trait values
    - Hover
        - Trait values
        - Elided members
        - Builtin metadata
    
    There's a lot going on here, but there's a few key pieces of this commit
    that all work together to make this work:
    
    At the core of these improvements is the addition of a custom parser for
    the IDL that provides the needed syntactic information to implement
    these features. See the javadoc on the Syntax class for more details on
    how the parser works, and why it was written that way. At a high level
    though, the parser produces a flat list of `Syntax.Statement`, and that
    list is searched through to find things, such as the statement the
    cursor is currently in. It is also used to search 'around' a statement,
    like to find the shape a trait is being applied to.
    
    Another key piece of these changes is `NodeCursor` and `NodeSearch`.
    There are a few places in the syntax of a smithy file where you may have
    a node value whose structure is (or can be) described by a Smithy model.
    For example, trait values. `NodeCursor` is basically two things: 1. A
    path from the start of a `Node` to a position within that `Node`, 2. An
    index into that path. `NodeSearch` is used to search a model along the
    path of a `NodeCursor`, from a starting shape. For example, when the
    cursor is within a trait value, the `NodeCursor` is that path from the
    root of the trait value, to the cursor position, and `NodeSearch` is
    used to search in the model, starting at the trait's definition, along
    the path of the `NodeCursor`, to find what shape corresponds to the
    cursor's location. That shape can then be used e.g. to provide completions.
    
    Finally, there's the `Builtins` class, and the corresponding Smithy
    model it uses. I originally had a completely different abstraction for
    describing the structure of metadata, different shape types' members,
    and even `smithy-build.json`. But it was basically just a 'structured
    graph', like a Smithy model. So I decided to just _use_ a Smithy model
    itself, since I already had the abstractions for traversing it (like I
    had to for trait values). The `Builtins` model contains shapes that
    define the structure of certain Smithy constructs. For example, I use it
    to model the shape of builtin metadata, like suppressions. I also use it
    to model the shape of shapes, that is, what members shapes have, and
    what their targets are. Some shapes in this model are considered
    'builtins' (in the builtins.smithy files). Builtins are shapes that
    require some custom processing, or have some special meaning, like
    `AnyNamespace`, which is used for describing a namespace that can be
    used in
    https://smithy.io/2.0/spec/model-validation.html#suppression-metadata.
    The builtin model pretty 'meta', and I don't _love_ it, but it reduces a
    significant amount of duplicated logic. For example, if we want to give
    documentation for some metadata, it is as easy as adding it to the
    builtins model. We can also use it to add support for smithy-build.json
    completions, hover, and even validation, later. It would be nice if
    these definitions lived elsewhere, so other tooling could consume them,
    like the Smithy docs for example, and I have some other ideas on how we
    can use it, but they're out of scope here.
    
    Testing for this commit comes mostly from the completions, definitions,
    and hover tests, which indirectly test lower-level components like the
    parser (there are still some parser tests, though).
