Micro syntax highlighting files

These are the syntax highlighting files for micro. To install them, just put them all in ~/.micro/syntax.

They are taken from Nano, specifically from this repository. Micro syntax files are almost identical to Nano's, except for some key differences:

• Micro does not use icolor. Instead use the case insensitive flag ((?i)) in the regular expression
• Micro does not support start="..." end="...", instead use the multiline match flag ((?s)) and put .*? in the middle
