Opening languages by default

<light-pen> Takes a string of comma separated languages to open on initial render.

More to come for more docs coming on how to change things!

Roadmap

• - Implement an extendable LightPenBase which includes a pluggable syntax highlighter and theme.
• - Implement <textarea> rendering hooks to add CodeMirror for more robuste setups.
• - Add vertical resizing of <textarea>
• - More documentation around customization.
• - Add a console logger
