HTML / CSS / Less / SCSS semantic selection (balance inward/outward)

Refs

• Semantic selections: Expand selection functionality issues #4795
• LSP: Feature request: "document/extendSelection" for semantic selection language-server-protocol#613

Current Status

• HTML: Emmet: Balance (outward) works
• CSS/SCSS/LESS: Emmet: Balance (outward) doesn't work, but it works in Atom. Probably need to update our dependencies.

The plan now is to use emmet's "balance" commands. The challenge is that HTML/CSS language service need to include emmet. Alternatively, we can implement these commands ourselves.

Please review the animated gifs in the original thread: #1808

Seems to me the emmet functionality as it stands is wholly inadequate.
