feat(treesitter)!: use @foo.bar style highlight groups

This removes the support for defining links via
vim.treesitter.highlighter.hl_map (never documented, but plugins did
anyway), or the uppercase-only `@FooGroup.Bar` to `FooGroup` rule.

The fallback is now strictly `@foo.bar.lang` to `@foo.bar` to `@foo`,
and casing is irrelevant (as it already was outside of treesitter)

For compatibility, define default links to builting syntax groups
as defined by pre-existing color schemes
