Syntax highlighting for Chapel language

[ben-albrecht]

Description

Add syntax support for Chapel programming language

Links / references

• Existing highlighters for Chapel

Motivation

Chapel highlighting is currently supported on GitHub:

proc hi() {
  writeln('Hello Rouge');
}

We'd like to add support to GitLab as well, which uses Rouge.

If there is documentation or useful examples of converting any of our existing highlighters, such as Pygments -> Rouge, I'd be happy to take a shot at it myself.

@ben-albrecht Yeah, I added that shortly after coming on board as a maintainer. We have a PR (#1145) with fixes that need to be added but hopefully that's helpful.
