Separate syntax set and theme set

This commit separates the handling of syntax sets and theme sets. It
also changes the way how new syntax definitions are loaded from `bat`'s
configuration folder. New syntax definitions are now loaded *in
addition* to the ones that are stored in the `bat` binary by default.

This fixes #172

### Add new syntaxes and highlighting themes
### Adding new syntaxes / language definitions
`bat` uses the excellent [`syntect`](https://github.com/trishume/syntect/)
library for syntax highlighting. `syntect` can read any
[Sublime Text `.sublime-syntax` file](https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/syntax.html)
and theme.
and theme. To add new syntax definitions, do the following.
To build your own language-set and theme, follow these steps:
Create a folder with a syntax highlighting theme:
Create a folder with syntax definition files:
```bash
BAT_CONFIG_DIR="$(bat cache --config-dir)"
mkdir -p "$BAT_CONFIG_DIR/themes"
cd "$BAT_CONFIG_DIR/themes"
# Download a theme, for example:
git clone https://github.com/greggb/sublime-snazzy
# Create a link for the default theme
ln -sf "sublime-snazzy/Sublime Snazzy.tmTheme" Default.tmTheme
```
Create a folder with language definition files:
```bash
mkdir -p "$BAT_CONFIG_DIR/syntaxes"
cd "$BAT_CONFIG_DIR/syntaxes"
# Download some language definition files, for example:
git clone https://github.com/sublimehq/Packages
git clone https://github.com/danro/LESS-sublime
# Put new '.sublime-syntax' language definition files
# in this folder (or its subdirectories), for example:
git clone https://github.com/tellnobody1/sublime-purescript-syntax
```
Finally, use the following command to parse all these files into a binary
cache:
Now use the following command to parse these files into a binary cache:
```bash
bat cache --init
```
Use `bat --list-languages` and `bat --list-themes` to check if all languages and themes are
available.
Finally, use `bat --list-languages` to check if the new languages are available.

### Adding new themes
This works very similar to how we add new syntax definitions.
First, create a folder with the new syntax highlighting themes:
```bash
BAT_CONFIG_DIR="$(bat cache --config-dir)"
mkdir -p "$BAT_CONFIG_DIR/themes"
cd "$BAT_CONFIG_DIR/themes"
# Download a theme in '.tmTheme' format, for example:
git clone https://github.com/greggb/sublime-snazzy
# Create a link to specify the new default theme
ln -sf "sublime-snazzy/Sublime Snazzy.tmTheme" Default.tmTheme
# Update the binary cache
bat cache --init
```
Finally, use `bat --list-themes` to check if the new themes are available.
**Note:** Unlike for syntax definitions, adding custom themes currently *removes all default
themes*. If you want to go back to the default themes, call `bat cache --clear`.
### Using a different pager
`bat` uses the pager that is specified in the `PAGER` environment variable. If this variable is not
