Support for expression-based job filters

[bborysenko]

It appears that the language server does not currently support expression-based job filters added recently. Because of this, there is no way to check the pipeline before committing the configuration to the repository. And most likely, adding expression-based filters will make working with CircleCI in VSCode completely impossible.

Steps to reproduce

Add expression-based filters within a workflow, like in the example below:

workflows:
  <workflow_name>:
    jobs:
      - <job_name>:
           filters: pipeline.git.branch ==  "main"

However, VSCode displays Invalid type. Expected: object, given: string error.

Trying to find examples of using expression-based job filters, I came across https://github.com/AwesomeCICD/circleci-oidc-gcp-terraform, where, most likely, the problem should be reproduced in the same way, as it uses identical filters here.

"Me too"
I'm also suffering from this issue - I use Visual Studio Code with the CircleCI extension active (running it on a WSL2 Ubuntu session under Windows) and the lack of support for this is hurting.

However, I have some good news: CircleCI's Nathan Fish, who announced the feature as complete, has taken note of this issue and agreed to get it fixed (and there's at least one CircleCI support ticket open about this too)

My support ticket 163902 complaining about this has been marked as "Solved".
