[FEATURE] Highlighting Queries Improvements #53

Description

Hi! I read/write a lot of Hack code in my day-to-day. My primary editor is Neovim and I've been hoping to leverage tree-sitter to power syntax highlighting. However, the highlighting queries for Hack are pretty bare-bones: https://github.com/slackhq/tree-sitter-hack/blob/main/queries/highlights.scm

I was curious if you all would accept contributions to at the very least the highlight queries to be more in line with other tree-sitter grammars (here's PHP for comparison).

I'd be potentially interested in augmenting the grammar or the parser as well to allow for more fine-tuned highlight queries, but I'd of course defer to you all for anything backwards incompatible.

Thank you!
