This PR proposes adjustments for the Visual Basic family of languages:

  • Change name from "VB for Applications" to "VBA" (compare)
  • Make vbhtml and VBHTML file Visual Basic .NET (reference)
  • Include the Dsr file extension for Visual Basic (reference)
  • Change name from "Visual Basic Script" to "VBScript" (reference)

I also took the opportunity to add some more tests and remove the old Visual Basic .NET test because it was using the VBA extension instead of the proper vb extension.

The term "VB for Applications" almost never used. VBA is much more
common and compact.
The vbhtml and VBHTML file extensions are used for ASP.NET Razor files,
which are part of the Visual Basic .NET ecosystem.
For legacy reasons, the Dsr capitalization remains popular. You can even
see it on GitHub by doing a search: https://github.com/search?q=path%3A*.dsr&type=code
The term "Visual Basic Script" is almost never used. VBScript is much
more common and compact.
