[clangd-dev] Syntax highlighting of keywords

[Haojian Wu via clangd-dev]

I agree editors handle keyword highlightings very well, but they don't have
sufficient knowledge to highlight typealias/typedefs for primitive types.

// We want to highlight A, B as primitive types.
using A = int;
typedef int B;
