Since `electric-pair-mode` now supports multi-character pairs, it would
be better if some major modes add some of these pairs.

Before making the patch for this (and to avoid doing another regression
like bug#77823), here is a list of the modes and their possible pairs:

 - c-like modes
     "/*" "*/"
 - lua-ts-mode
     "--[" "--]"
 - texinfo-mode (idk which others one) (based in a Stefan Monnier idea)
     "``" "''"
 - lisp-mode (common-lisp-mode)
    "#|" "|#"

What do you think?
