Bracket pair colorization mistakenly colors angle brackets in syntax

[Spanfile]

Issue Type: Bug

Bracket pair colorization mistakenly pairs two unrelated bitshift operators together. It also colors things like comparisons, return values and "thick" arrows.

That is because the rust language defined < ... > as bracket pair.

@alexdima do you have ideas how to fix this?

1. Have a global language override for bracket pair colorization
2. Ask the rust extension to remove <...>
3. Remove < ... > when doing bracket pair colorization for every language (as this is also problematic for jsx)
4. ?

[IllusionMH]

Is it possible to add language specific overrides for brackets pairs in config?

"[typescriptreact]": {
    "editor.bracketPairColorization.pairs": [
        ["{", "}"],
        ["[", "]"],
        ["(", ")"]
    ]
}

Or other way to specify subset of pairs provided by language. Or expend it if implementation supports expanding list of pairs and don't rely on language implementation.

This issue would be fixed by either #131412 (user configurable bracket pairs, including colorized bracket pairs) or #131194 (language configurable colorized bracket pairs).
