Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Cannot run scripts with the ```*.raku``` extension.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Whatever was PERL6 decades ago, is Rakudo now.
Please support *.raku and *.rk and similar [file extensions of the Rakudo prog. language](https://docs.raku.org/language/filename-extensions)

THANKS!

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. Start by searching the TypeScript VS Code extension for existing language-to-command mappings and Perl-related support, then check how filename extensions are registered. Done means Rakudo scripts with .raku, .rk, and the relevant documented extensions can be run.
