• allow the formatting provider to be set as null, this means, select the best available one

  • add internal priority for formatting providers

Instead of null, can we use "auto"?

This adds an algorithm, that searches for the best available formatter. This results in the following behavior:

* if `formatting.provider` is set to `null` we try to find a formatter in the following order `["meson", "muon"`], if one of them is found in this order, that one is used

* if `formatting.provider` is set to `"meson"` we try to find a formatter in the following order `["meson", "muon"`], even if we set the provider to be `"meson"` and meson is not found, muon is used

This behavior doesn't make much sense to me. If the user requests meson, they should get meson if available, else don't format.

* The same for muon, it is a priority if the user selected it, but meson might be used, if muon is not found

The only problem I can see, if you want to disable the formatter, there is no way of doing that, but that was previously also not the case.

fixes #274

Let me know, me if this solution is acceptable. The problem with the previous code is, that it wasn't really designed to handle multiple formatting providers that well.

Let me know your thoughts!

Yes that is also a good idea 👍🏼

Ok, So I'll chnage it, to just do that on the "auto" value 👍🏼

Thanks for your contributions to the extension. I'll try and a get a release out after this PR merges.
