Adds a `data-language` attribute on the rendered `pre` and `code` elements to expose the highlighted syntax language.
This allows retrieving the language in a rehype plugin:
```js
// myRehypePre.js
import { visit } from "unist-util-visit";
export default function myRehypePre() {
return (tree) => {
visit(tree, { tagName: "pre" }, (node) => {
const lang = node.properties.dataLanguage;
[...]
});
};
}
```

Hi @604qgc ! I was thinking of including something like this in the changeset, since for minor releases of new features we do like to show them off a bit and really help people understand why your thing is cool! 💅

I took this from your PR description, but if there's something else you'd prefer to use, or would change this in some way, please do! I think a changeset of this style/length is helpful to people to understand the new feature, so anything like this you can suggest would be great.
