Revert: "languages: Improve function parameter highlighting for Bash" (#52245)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/52242

This PR reverts a change that highlights shell script arguments as
variables rather than strings. Because of how shell scripts work, all
parameters are strings by default and are regularly represented as such.
The original PR (https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/48067) aimed
to improve highlighting by capturing all arguments as
`variable.parameter`s, but this doesn't align with the idiomatic usage
of shell scripts.

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.

Sponsorship

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.
