This PR adds the ability to display backgrounds for inlay hints within
the editor.
This is controlled by the new `inlay_hints.show_background` setting.
This setting defaults to `false`.
To enable the setting, add the following to your `settings.json`:
```json
{
"inlay_hints": {
"enabled": true,
"show_background": true
}
}
```
When enabled, the inlay hint backgrounds will use the `hint.background`
color from the theme.
