Jakub Roztocil 31c28807c9 Added better JSON highlighting
A JSON-specific lexer for Pygments by Norman Richards (@orb)
has been added. It attempts to provide more interesting syntax
highlighting which correctly distinguishes between attribute
names and values.

Closes #25.

JSON lexer by Norman Richards
It's already been merged into Pygments but not released yet,
so we are temporarily bundling it with HTTPie.
It can be removed once Pygments > 1.4 has been released.
See <https://github.com/jkbr/httpie/pull/25> for more details.
