HL Chunk

This extension ports the main ideas of hlchunk.nvim to VS Code:

• indent guides for visible lines
• optional blank indentation fill
• current chunk highlighting based on indentation around the cursor
• gutter and line range highlighting for the current chunk

The VS Code API does not expose Neovim-style virtual text overlays or line-number highlight groups directly, so this implementation uses editor decorations and gutter markers. Chunk detection is indentation-based and does not require Tree-sitter.
