Answer Set Programming was patternless, leading to many false positives. Now, it now matches files containing specific ASP directives (`#include`, `#const`, etc.). Additionally, it looks for rules defined with `:-`. Added an ASP sample `tohB.lp` from Potassco's clingo repo (MIT licensed). Lacks `#` directives, so serves to make sure second pattern works

Add a pattern for Answer Set Programming.
Description
Answer Set Programming (#7184) was patternless, leading to false positives on LibrePCB .lp files (which don't appear popular enough for inclusion themselves). Now, it now matches files containing specific ASP directives (
#include,#const, etc.). Because some ASP files won't have directives, it also looks for rules defined with:-, or lines simply containing "facts" (foo(x).oratom.oredge(2, 4).).Added an additional ASP sample
tohB.lpfrom Potassco's clingo repo (MIT licensed) to exercise the patterns.Checklist:
