Update: This syntax feature has now been added to TypeScript and shipped in VSCode. However, VSCode shipped it with broken syntax highlighting because this PR wasn't merged. Merging this PR would fix syntax highlighting for this feature. |

This PR implements Arbitrary Module Namespace Identifiers, which is a JavaScript syntax feature that was added to JavaScript over two years ago (in ES2022). It allows import and export aliases to be strings instead of identifiers.
Before this PR:
Notice that the string content is incorrectly colored. In particular, the characters
defaultin the middle of the string are confusingly highlighted as a keyword. The precedingtypekeyword is also not highlighted as a keyword when it should be.After this PR:
All strings are highlighted as strings, and the
typekeyword is highlighted as a keyword.
