Description

Add basic SQL syntax highlighting to `edit`.

Currently, `.sql` files are not detected as SQL and are opened without SQL syntax highlighting.

The highlighting should cover common SQL syntax such as:

- Keywords
- Comments
- Strings
- Numbers
- Boolean and `NULL` values
- Operators
- Common SQL functions

It would also be useful to support SQL code blocks in Markdown.

Research direction

Start in edit's language-detection and syntax-highlighting paths, comparing the handling of existing languages. Check `.sql` file detection and SQL code blocks in Markdown. Done means common SQL keywords, comments, strings, numbers, booleans, NULL values, operators, and functions receive highlighting in both contexts.
