Implement syntax mapping

This adds a `-m`/`--map-syntax` option that allows users to (re)map
certain file extensions or file names to an existing syntax.

For example:
```
bat --map-syntax .config:json
```

The option can be use multiple times. Note that you can easily make
these mappings permanent by using `bat`s new configuration file.
