Om ChillureandKunall Banerjee 92af9e4a8f languages: Highlight await as keyword.control in JS/TS/TSX files (#52034)
## Context

Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/51921

`await` was grouped under the generic `@keyword` capture in the
tree-sitter highlights queries for JavaScript, TypeScript, and TSX. It
should be `@keyword.control`, since it's a control flow keyword — same
as `return`, `yield`, `throw`, `break`, etc., which were already
correctly classified.

This aligns Zed's highlighting with VSCode's behavior, where `await` is
tokenized as `keyword.control`.

## How to Review

Three single-line moves across highlights files — `await` removed from
the `@keyword` list, added to the `@keyword.control` list:
1. `crates/languages/src/javascript/highlights.scm`
2. `crates/languages/src/typescript/highlights.scm`
3. `crates/languages/src/tsx/highlights.scm`

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
