VS Code has various configuration files; one of the is language-configuration.json (see https://code.visualstudio.com/api/language-extensions/language-configuration-guide; e.g.: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/extensions/cpp/language-configuration.json). This allows to configure the Toggle comment action, brace matching, some aspects of typing completion, indentation, etc.

The idea in this PR is to start with a support for this configuration. Currently, toggle comment, brace matching and typing completion are (somewhat) supported.

The file can either be specified using API (demonstrated for C/C++), or manually in Tools/Options/Editor/Language Servers.

Note javadoc is partially written by qwen3.8, see: 1f05b50
