JSONata language support

[Steve-Mcl]

Hi, I would love to replace ACE Editor in the node-red project with monaco (and mostly I have succeeded) but there is one last hurdle before I can raise a PR for it - lack of JSONata support.

I have found this and this but I have no idea how to implement this.

If adding JSONata is a "no-go" then perhaps instructions on how I might achieve this in a fork OR worst case, how to do very basic keyword colouring & simple syntax checks (closed brackets / quotes, comments etc)

This document describes how to create a syntax highlighter using the Monarch library. This library allows you to specify an efficient syntax highlighter, using a declarative lexical specification (written as a JSON value). The specification is expressive enough to specify sophisticated highlighters with complex state transitions, dynamic brace matching, auto-completion, other language embeddings, etc. as shown in the 'advanced' topic sections of this document. On a first read, it is safe to skip any section or paragraph marked as (Advanced) since many of the advanced features are rarely used in most language definitions. – Daan Leijen.

I'm interested in JSONata as well, so let me know how it goes.
