Support for Greek numbering #3882

Description

Add the option "g" and "G" to numbering with greek letters:

set enum(numbering:"g)")
+ first
+ second
+ third
(...)

Would render to

sym.alpha first
sym.beta second
sym.gamma third
(...)

The same for uppercase.

Use Case

When you have high levels of identation, we "only" have 1, a, A, i, I and some more "paragraph" like characters like sym.pilcrow and sym.section. It would be cool to have greek letters as an option, specially on deep nested documents to avoid repetition of the numbering types mentioned above.

I could create a package to create a wrapper for numbering for such a thing, but I think that it could be desirable and trivial to have the numbering pattern on the core Typst itself.

Edit:
Having in mind that western thinking is highly rooted in greek culture, I think this feature can be desirable for other language speaking users aside from greek ones too.
