Add support for semantic / tree-sitter

It would be really cool if AST Explorer was able to support 'Semantic' and/or 'Tree-Sitter':

https://github.com/github/semantic
- Parsing, analyzing, and comparing source code across many languages
https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter
- An incremental parsing system for programming tools
- https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/blob/master/lib/binding_web/
  - WebAssembly bindings to the Tree-sitter parsing library.
- https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/tree/master/cli
  - The Tree-sitter CLI allows you to develop, test, and use Tree-sitter grammars from the command line.
https://github.com/tree-sitter/node-tree-sitter
- Node.js bindings for tree-sitter

Tree sitter's WASM distribution seems to be able to create an AST in browser:

npmjs.com/package/web-tree-sitter
