[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Use some parsers from uctags with better implementation (PR #3035)

[Jiří Techet]

Parsers for R and verilog from ctags are token-based instead of our line-based parsers and are definitely superior and all development should go towards these parsers.

The sh parser is not token based but the uctags version seems to handle more things.

Other 2 parsers which I think we should eventually adopt are VHDL and tex parsers (both are token-based) - they generate a slightly different set of tags and tag mappings should be adopted to those for the sidebar so I skipped them for now.

Finally, I tried also switching to uctags `c.c` for java, D and C# but our c.c seems to be actually better there.
