JSON Embedded Languages

Syntax Highlighting for embedded languages within JSON and JSONC files.
It does so by overriding the default JSON and JSONC languages and assigning scopeNames to objects with the form .meta.embedded.object-key-name..
Then using multiple injection grammars that target and inject specific languages into it.
