Allow using path suffixes to associate language file-types (helix-editor#2455)

* feat(syntax): add strategy to associate file to language through pattern

File path will match if it ends with any of the file types provided in the config.
Also used this feature to add support for the .git/config and .ssh/config files

* Add /etc/ssh/ssh_config to languages.toml

* cargo xtask docgen

* Update languages.md

* Update languages.md

* Update book/src/languages.md
