patch 9.1.0998: filetype: TI assembly files are not recognized

Problem:  filetype: TI assembly files are not recognized
Solution: inspect '*.sa' and assembly files and detect TI assembly
          files, include filetype plugin and syntax script for TI
          assembly files (Wu, Zhenyu)

closes: #15827
