Purpose and Motivation
This aims to fix issue #5434.
Introduced in #4890 on develop, classnames would not highlight correctly if a file was opened before introspection was available.
This PR prevents highlighting until introspection is available, and triggers highlighting when introspection changes.
Why did this break?
The classname highlighting was broken and formatted everything beginning with an uppercase letter.
The changes in #4890 mean that classnames now have to exist before being highlighted, which means we need to wait for introspection before highlighting them.
Why not use the old behaviour until introspection is available?
It would highlight things incorrectly and then magically correct itself, which could be confusing.
Why not highlight everything else and only highlight classnames when introspection becomes available?
Ultimately, I think it would be more confusing to have a file partially highlight and then have things magically appear.
