Summary

Support extensions downloading and defaulting to an external formatter binary.

Description

Extensions can download a language server, which may provide a formatter for a language. They may also specify prettier_plugins / prettier_parser_name in a config.toml for a language.

But extensions cannot download a github release binary / npm package and provide settings to define use as a default formatter for a given language.
