python: Fix and improve highlighting (#25813)

Finn Evers created 10 months ago

Closes #25803
Closes #25707 

This PR fixes the highlighting regression described in #25803 by fixing
the priorities of highlights as described in the [comment within the
file
itself](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/5b66ea15638b004c45bbf4e4dd0b576aa6cdcebc/crates/languages/src/python/highlights.scm#L1).
A nice side-effect of this is that scoped constants or other identifiers
are now also more accurately highlighted, as seen in the screenshots
below.

While I was at it, I also adressed the highlighting issue for default
typed idenfiers.

Release Notes:

- Fixed constants not being highlighted in Python-files.
- Improved Python-highlighting for default function arguments and scoped
identifiers.
