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

 `bat` uses the excellent [`syntect`](https://github.com/trishume/syntect/)

+### 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`.
