bug#60559: 29.0.60; "Cannot activate tree-sitter" spam

So here's a suggestion for such a solution: we make all the *-ts-mode's optional. That is, we don't add any of them to auto-mode-alist unless the file *-ts-mode.el is loaded, and we document them all in NEWS and the user manual as optional. users who want them will have to manually activate them. This way, the original use case that started this bug report is automatically solved, and the other use case, where the user intends to activate one of these modes, is also served by showing the warning, which in that case is perfectly justified: the user asked for something that we cannot do, so we warn him/her.


I suggest a slightly different solution: add a global minor mode, say 'ts-modes'. Users would only have to add (ts-modes 1) in their init files, and the logic would be:

(treesit-available-p) ts-modes
nil                   nil      => do nothing
nil                   t        => warning
t                     nil      => use available tree-sitter modes
t                     t        => use available tree-sitter modes

This seems more future-proof: otherwise users who want to user the available tree-sitter modes would have to require all such modes. ATM there are only 19, but Emacs 30 could very well have twice or thrice that number of tree-sitter modes.
