Andrew Eisenberg eaa26e5ef7 Add the AST Viewer
This commit adds the AST Viewer for viewing the QL AST of a file in a
database.

The different components are as follows:

1. There is a new view `codeQLAstViewer`, which displays the AST
2. This view is backed by the `AstViewerDataProvider` and `AstViewer` classes in astView.ts
3. To generate an AST, we use contextual queries, similar to how Find references/declarations are implemented. In particular, in `definitions.ts` there is `TemplatePrintAstProvider` which provides an AST for a given source buffer.
  - Similar to the other queries, we first determine which database the buffer belongs to.
  - Based on that, we generate a synthetic qlpack and run the templatized `printAst.ql` query
  - We plug in the archive-relative path name of the source file.
  - After the query is run, we wrap the results in an `AstBuilder` instance.
  - When requested, the `AstBuilder` will generate the full AST of the file from the BQRS results.
  - The AST roots (all top-level elements, functions, variable declarations, etc, are roots) are passed to the `AstViewer` instance, which handles the display lifecycle and other VS Code-specific functions.

There are a few unrelated pieces here, which can be pulled out to another PR if required:

- The `codeQLQueryHistory` view now has a _welcome_ message to make it more obvious to users how to start.
- `definitions.ts` is moved to the `contextual` subfolder.
- `fileRangeFromURI` is extracted from `definitions.ts` to its own file so it can be reused.

Also, note that this relies on https://github.com/github/codeql/pull/3931 for the C/C++ query to be available in the QL sources. Other languages will need similar queries.
