The submodules system is being replaced with a command-line flag
hx --fetch-grammars
Which shallow-clones grammar repositories at the given revision and
hx --build-grammars
For building grammars separate of the initial compilation of helix.
Why remove submodules?
* Cloning helix in general takes a long time because of the submodules,
especially when the submodules are not fetched as shallow
* Packaging is consistently painful no matter the package-manager
* It is quite difficult to devise a scheme where users can declare
a desired set of grammars and implement it with submodules
This commit fully removes the existing tree-sitter submodules from
the tree (as well as the .gitmodules file which is no longer used).

Syntax highlighting for helix, (shallow) submodules resides here.
Differences from nvim-treesitter
As the syntax are commonly ported from https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter.
Note that we do not support the custom #any-of predicate which is
supported by neovim so one needs to change it to #match with regex.
