Remove let_declaration from Rust locals tracking #3212

This fixes some edge-cases like here:

I don't think it ever makes sense to have a let-declaration define a local, right? We want to tag parameters as local.definition so that you can identify function/closure parameters but let-declarations always create variable bindings even when pattern matching so we can use normal highlighting for those.

For those looking at these and searching for the difference, look at the regex:: on the 4th line, I spent way too much time searching for it 😅

What is the result for later uses of the regex variable ? Does it remove some highlighting ? Could this be fixed by detecting modules first when seeing something like name:: ?

What is the result for later uses of the regex variable?

Later uses have the @variable highlighting as expected. This change only removes the @variable highlighting on the regex:: instance.

Could this be fixed by detecting modules first when seeing something like name::?

Not without some changes to the syntax highlighting code. Local reference highlights are higher precedence than anything highlights from highlights.scm and you can't currently 'block' a local.reference with something like

(scoped_identifier path: (identifier) @ignore)
(identifier) @local.reference
