BREAKING CHANGE: This commit removes a number of core packages and
features from this module and only replaces a handful of them, so that
we can lean more on LSP and tree-sitter. To be specific:
- We used to rely on `rjsx-mode` (derived from js2-mode) for total
JS/JSX support (though imperfect; Emacs was starved for options at the
time). This has now been replaced with `js-ts-mode` (built-in after
Emacs 29), falling back to `js-mode` (very rudimentary, but a decent
fallback).
- This also meant the removal of `js2-mode`, which `skewer-mode`,
`js2-refactor`, and `xref-js2` depended on, so those were removed
too, and have *somewhat* been replaced with LSP integration (offers
jump-to-definition/references and *some* refactoring actions, but no
replacement for skewer's functionality).
- Typescript support no longer relies on the jury-rigged, web-mode-derived
major mode (because TSX support in the upstream `typescript-mode`
isn't great). We now use `typescript-ts-mode` (built-in into Emacs
29.1+), falling back to `typescript-mode`.
- JSX/TSX support now *requires* tree-sitter (and Emacs 29.1+), where
`tsx-ts-mode` is available and outshines all the alternatives (at the
time of writing).
Due to the absolute chaos that is webdev, this module sacrifices some of
the graceful-degradation I've implemented for other modules and creates
a hard requirement on tree-sitter and Emacs 29.1+ for JSX/TSX. It still
tries to degrade gracefully for plain JS and TS, but the module's doctor
and docs will actively recommend tree-sitter.

bash-ts-mode is inferior to shell-script-mode's syntax highlighting and
no other *-ts-mode modes are available for other shells (though,
there *are* powershell and nushell ts-modes; I'll investigate those
later).
No *-ts-mode exists for ess-r-mode (or any other ess mode, afaik). The
ess module will fall back to font-lock rules so this is not a breaking
changing.
No *-ts-mode exists for tuareg-mode. There *is* a ocaml-ts-mode, but
it's too rudimentary. The ocaml module will fall back to font-lock rules
so this is not a breaking changing.
c-ts-mode and c++-ts-mode weren't being remapped to from c-mode/c++-mode
because of extra noise in `major-mode-remap-defaults`. I wish these
packages would leave these variables alone and leave it to the user to
configure; they're often inconsistent and overbearing.
