2.0.1

🆕 What's in this release?

This is a major release, with several aims:

1. ⌨️ Make <code-input> work more like a <textarea>, including more HTML form compatibility (demo) - thank you especially to @vanowm
2. 🧹 Add TypeScript support - please see WebCoder49/code-input-for-typescript
3. 🎉 Keep adding optional plugins from the open-source community - please see plugins/README.md

(+bug fix for template not registering bug)
