We now organize the pygment language codes into meaningful categories
- default, custom and aliases.
Further the `lang.json` list now contains a dataset extracted from the
"language" section of https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020
and is prioritized based on current language trends.
This adds support for a "spoiler" syntax in Zulip's markdown, which
can be used to hide content that one doesn't want to be immediately
visible without a click.
We use our own spoiler block syntax inspired by Zulip's existing quote
and math block markdown extensions, rather than requiring a token on
every line, as is present in some other markdown spoiler
implementations.
Fixes#5802.

Previously, we added support for 'none', 'plain' and 'noop' and a
function `lang = remap_language(lang)`. This also had the potential
to encourage adding more remappings- something that we deliberatly
want to keep to a minimum.
For context, Anders K doesn't want us to keep any remapping (only
keeping 'text' which is the default no-op lexer that pygments has)
and Tim wants to keep 'plain' and 'text'. We should only document
and advertise 'text'.
Modified composebox_typeahead.js to recognize the triple backtick
and tilde for code blocks, and added appropriate typeahead functions
in that file and in typeahead_helper.js.
Additionally, a new file pygments_data.js contains a dictionary of
the supported languages, mapping to relative popularity
rankings. These rankings determine the order of sort of the
languages in the typeahead.
This JavaScript file is actually in static/generated/pygments_data.js, as it
is generated by a Python script, tools/build_pymgents_data.py. This is
so that if Pygments adds support for new languages, the JavaScript file
will be updated appropriately. This python script uses a set of popularity
rankings defined in lang.json.
Corresponding unit tests were also added.
Fixes#4111.
