add El LSP skeleton — language server, VSCode extension, syntax highlighting

Implements a Language Server Protocol server for El files over stdin/stdout
JSON-RPC. Provides completions (builtins + keywords + document functions),
hover documentation, go-to-definition, and full document sync.

Also adds a VSCode extension that launches the binary as a child process and
a TextMate grammar for .el syntax highlighting.

NOTE: el-lsp.el calls __read_n(n: Int) -> String, a seed primitive not yet
in el_runtime.c. Build.sh documents the required C implementation; the seed
agent must add it before the binary will link.

// tools/lsp/vscode-extension/extension.js — El Language VSCode extension
//
// Launches el-lsp as a child process (stdin/stdout Language Server Protocol)
// and connects VSCode's language client to it.
//
// Prerequisites:
// - el-lsp binary built at ../dist/el-lsp (run tools/lsp/build.sh first)
// - npm install (installs vscode-languageclient)
//
// Install for development:
// 1. Open the vscode-extension/ folder in VSCode
// 2. Press F5 — Extension Development Host launches
// 3. Open any .el file — the LSP activates
//
// To package as a .vsix:
// npm install -g @vscode/vsce
// cd tools/lsp/vscode-extension && vsce package
