This PR adds support for the "document highlights" language server feature.

This feature allows a client to highlight all instances of a selected name within a document. Without this feature, editors perform highlighting based on a simple text match. This adds semantic knowledge.

The implementation of this feature largely overlaps that of the recently-added "references" feature. This PR refactors the existing "references.rs" module, separating out the functionality and tests that are specific to the other language feature into a "goto_references.rs" module. The "references.rs" module now contains the functionality that is common to "goto references", "document highlights" and "rename" (which is not yet implemented).

As part of this PR, I also created a new ReferenceTarget type which is similar to the existing NavigationTarget type but better suited for references. This idea was suggested by @MichaReiser in this code review feedback from a previous PR. Notably, this new type contains a field that specifies the "kind" of the reference (read, write or other). This "kind" is needed for the document highlights feature.

This PR adds support for the "document highlights" language server
feature.

This feature allows a client to highlight all instances of a selected

highlighting based on a simple text match. This adds semantic knowledge.

The implementation of this feature largely overlaps that of the
