Add syntax checking for JS and JSON

The editor does not sense and redline JSON syntax errors. To work around this, I switch the file association to “JavaScript” whenever I am seriously editing a pipeline. Then I switch the file association back to “MongoDB” just before testing/executing the pipeline. This is inconvenient.

    From v1.0.x on playgrounds are JS files so they will pickup any syntax and linting rules and use any tools that are configured for the project or from other extensions.
