Julien Nicoulaud 0772ddd346 Big refactoring.
* Don't override user defined styles
* Better modularisation of highlighters
* Allow to define which highlighters are activated
* Allow to define the order in which they are defined
* Minor performance optimizations

zsh-syntax-highlighting / highlighters / pattern
================================================
This is the ***pattern*** highlighter, that highlights user defined patterns.
How to activate it
------------------
To activate it, add it to `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS`:
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_HIGHLIGHTERS=( [...] pattern)
How to tweak it
---------------
To use this highlighter, associate patterns with styles in the `ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS` array, for example in `~/.zshrc`:
# To have commands starting with `rm -rf` in red:
ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_PATTERNS+=('rm -rf *' 'fg=white,bold,bg=red')
The syntax for declaring styles is [documented here](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/Zsh-Line-Editor.html#SEC135).
