PaperPC syntax highlighting

VSCode extension supporting syntax highlighting for the PaperPC assembly/computer organization teaching tool.

PPC programming relies on a stored-program computer model simiar to the Little Man Computer and Bell Labs CARDIAC. The PaperPC serves to instruct undergraduate computer science students using an assembly- based approach, featuring an ISA demonstrated by the following basic addition program:

1    901    @ Read one value from input to Accumulator
2    320    @ Store in memory location 020
3    901    @ Read one value from input to Accumulator
4    630    @ Unconditional branch to data in 048
30   160    @ Add data in 060 to Accumulator
31   902    @ Output the sum stored in the Accumulator
32   000    @ Halt

Each line number represents a value in a memory cell followed by a tab (at least 2 spaces) with a three-number opcode. Comments follow the approach of most traditional assemblies, being offset by a @.
