Subject: [PATCH] languages: Highlight `await` as `keyword.control` in
 JS/TS/TSX files (#52034)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Context

Fixes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/51921

`await` was grouped under the generic `@keyword` capture in the
tree-sitter highlights queries for JavaScript, TypeScript, and TSX. It
should be `@keyword.control`, since it's a control flow keyword — same
as `return`, `yield`, `throw`, `break`, etc., which were already
correctly classified.

This aligns Zed's highlighting with VSCode's behavior, where `await` is
tokenized as `keyword.control`.

## How to Review

Three single-line moves across highlights files — `await` removed from
the `@keyword` list, added to the `@keyword.control` list:
1. `crates/languages/src/javascript/highlights.scm`
2. `crates/languages/src/typescript/highlights.scm`
3. `crates/languages/src/tsx/highlights.scm`

Release Notes:

JavaScript, TypeScript, and TSX files
