Add default parameter values, fix relative imports, and add WaitQueue deque ops

Parser:
- Fix parseGenericConstraint to recognize '=' as a stop token, enabling
  fn foo(x: int64 = 0) syntax
- Fix parseModulePath and parseImportPath to handle '../' as a single
  token (the lexer greedily merges '..' and '/')

Typechecker:
- Relax isCapable to accept fewer arguments when trailing parameters
  have defaults
- Fill in default values for missing arguments in lowerResolvedCall

C runtime:
- Add peon_wait_queue_pop_back and peon_wait_queue_wake_last for O(1)
  tail removal, making WaitQueue a proper deque
- Rename wake_one -> wake_first for symmetry with wake_last

Stdlib:
- Move sync.pn into sync/ directory (events.pn, queues.pn)
- Fix Event.set() missing self.signaled = true assignment (deadlock bug)
- Add wakeLast and isEmpty bindings for WaitQueue
- Fix WaitQueue clone to use UFCS init() style

Syntax highlighting:
- Fix import path regex to support multiple ../ prefixes

Peon Syntax Highlighting

VS Code syntax highlighting for the Peon programming language.

This extension provides TextMate-based highlighting for Peon source files with the .pn and .peon extensions.

Features

Highlights Peon declarations such as fn, operator, type, iface, object, tuple, enum, var, let, and const, including async fn and async generator fn.
Recognizes Peon-specific syntax including #pragma[...], match/case, when, structured-concurrency keywords such as await, nursery, spawn, and shield, type-form keywords such as ref, lent, mut, and ptr, structural tuple literals like (x: 1, y: 2), and UFCS-style member access.
Supports Peon literals and operators including:
- numeric suffixes like 1'i64 and 255'u8
- binary, octal, hexadecimal, integer, and float literals
- raw, byte, format, and triple-quoted strings
- backticked identifiers and operator names such as `+` and `destroy=`
Configures editor behavior for Peon comments, brackets, quotes, and backticks.

Language Support

The extension currently contributes:

Language id: peon
File extensions: .pn, .peon
TextMate scope: source.peon

Development

To run the extension in a development host:

Open this folder in VS Code.
Press F5.
In the Extension Development Host window, open a .pn file.

To build a VSIX package locally:

npx @vscode/vsce package

Known Limitations

This is a syntax-highlighting extension only. It does not currently provide formatting, diagnostics, semantic tokens, or language server features.
Highlighting is based on the current Peon manual and compiler implementation. If the language evolves, the grammar should be updated alongside compiler changes.

Release Notes
