Add setting to override nonstandardSymbol Type

[niekschoemaker]

I'm not sure if I covered everything in the changes given.

But this feature would be helpful for FiveM development, since the backticks (`) are used for compile time hashing, so the type of that would be an integer and not string, this is causing some warnings here and there in code.

Let me know if I've missed anything or if anything else needs to be done for this pull request to be merged.

I think this won't work. Have you tested it?

Yes sorry about that, I wanted to check in if this is a correct feature before committing fully, I have tested it a bit on my own branch, but without the config (not sure how to test this, so requires some figuring out on my part)

But I did run into some weird errors so I'll have a look, I converted it to a draft for the time being till I fully complete it.

Alright, this is the working version as far as I can see.

Fixed some things with config template and tested it in vscode (by updating vscode-lua, will pull request that too if this gets accepted)

When the setting doesn't exist the plugin functions as normal, so nothing changes, but I can set it to override the type of "`" to be an integer which does exactly what it's supposed to.

For your needs, I think using a plugin would be better.

1. Create a plugin file in somewhere such is lua_plugin.lua with:

local function exampleHash(words)
    local result = 0
    for c in words:gmatch '.' do
        result = (result * 256 + string.byte(c)) & 0xFFFFFFFF
    end
    return result
end

function OnSetText(uri, text)
    local patchs = {}
    for pos1, words, pos2 in text:gmatch '()`(.-)`()' do
        patchs[#patchs+1] = {
            start  = pos1,
            finish = pos2 - 1,
            text   = tostring(exampleHash(words))
        }
    end
    if #patchs == 0 then
        return nil
    end
    return patchs
end

2. Set config "runtime.plugin": "lua_plugin.lua"
3. See result:
