JavaScript/TypeScript region folding with //region does not work

See original GitHub issue

VSCode Version: 1.30.2
OS Version: Linux x64 4.20.0-arch1-1-ARCH

Steps to Reproduce:

Use //region and //endregion in JavaScript and/or TypeScript files to create folding regions.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

The release notes for 1.17 mention that support was added for folding regions. For JavaScript/TypeScript, both //#region //#endregion and //region //endregion were added. However only //#region //#endregion seem to work. //region //endregion do not work. This is annoying because some projects I work on use this syntax throughout all the code.

Code snippet

//region region
//endregion

// region region with space
// endregion

//#region #region
//#endregion

// #region #region with space
// #endregion

Moved upstream to TypeScript for more feedback since we now use language aware folding. We should wait for more feedback to see if //region is used enough vs to //#region to warrant support

@mjbvz I just want to mention that in WebStorm // region is supported by default and // #region might be supported too as you can define custom region expressions there. I think VS Code should allow that too. That way region expression from other editors can be supported too without additional work.
