[CSS] Add support for syntax dialects
This commit 1. renames CSS.sublime-syntax to CSS (Plain).sublime-syntax 2. creates an inherit CSS from CSS (Plain) Goal ---- Support different CSS dialects (Basic, PostCSS, Tailwind CSS, ...) in embedded code scenarios including templating support. Motivation ---------- More and more syntax packages inherit CSS.sublime-syntax to add support for interpolation or embed template tags (e.g.: ASP, JSP, PHP, Liquid, Vue, ...). Other packages might provide certain dialects of CSS, such as PostCSS or Tailwind CSS. It is currently not easily possible to embed Tailwind CSS in PHP or Liquid without rewriting each of those syntaxes, because all of them rely on default CSS.sublime-syntax due to inheritance depending on file names rather than scopes. The motivation is to enable exactly this (again), to benefit from both inheritance and flexibility from 3rd-party packages. Strategy -------- The idea is to turn CSS.sublime-syntax into an interface, which is inherit from CSS (Plain) and can be extended by and embedded into syntax definitions such as PHP, while being able to easily create an override with `extends` value replaced by desired syntax dialect (e.g.: Tailwind CSS). CSS (PHP) | CSS | \ | Tailwind CSS | | | PostCSS | / CSS (Plain) Note: It follows the idea being discussed in SQL (sublimehq#3046).
