Server-side syntax highlighting for all code (#12047)
* Server-side syntax hilighting for all code

This PR does a few things:

* Remove all traces of highlight.js
* Use chroma library to provide fast syntax hilighting directly on the server
* Provide syntax hilighting for diffs
* Re-style both unified and split diffs views
* Add custom syntax hilighting styling for both regular and arc-green

Fixes #7729
Fixes #10157
Fixes #11825
Fixes #7728
Fixes #3872
Fixes #3682

And perhaps gets closer to #9553

* fix line marker

* fix repo search

* Fix single line select

* properly load settings

* npm uninstall highlight.js

* review suggestion

* code review

* forgot to call function

* fix test

* Apply suggestions from code review

Lexer tests

The tests in this directory feed a known input testdata/<name>.actual into the parser for <name> and check that its output matches <name>.exported.

Running the tests

Run the tests as normal:

go test ./lexers

Update existing tests

When you add a new test data file (*.actual), you need to regenerate all tests. That's how Chroma creates the *.expected test file based on the corresponding lexer.

To regenerate all tests, type in your terminal:

RECORD=true go test ./lexers

This first sets the RECORD environment variable to true. Then it runs go test on the ./lexers directory of the Chroma project.

(That environment variable tells Chroma it needs to output test data. After running go test ./lexers you can remove or reset that variable.)

Windows users

Windows users will find that the RECORD=true go test ./lexers command fails in both the standard command prompt terminal and in PowerShell.

Instead we have to perform both steps separately:

  • Set the RECORD environment variable to true.
    • In the regular command prompt window, the set command sets an environment variable for the current session: set RECORD=true. See this page for more.
    • In PowerShell, you can use the $env:RECORD = 'true' command for that. See this article for more.
    • You can also make a persistent environment variable by hand in the Windows computer settings. See this article for how.
  • When the environment variable is set, run go tests ./lexers.

Chroma will now regenerate the test files and print its results to the console window.
