This significantly speeds up the startup time of bat, since only a single
linked SyntaxDefinition is loaded for each file. The size increase of the
binary is just ~400 kB.
In order for startup time to be improved, the --language arg must be used, and
it must match one of the following names:
"Plain Text", "ActionScript", "AppleScript", "Batch File", "NAnt Build File",
"C#", "C", "CSS", "D", "Diff", "Erlang", "Go", "Haskell", "JSON", "Java
Properties", "BibTeX", "LaTeX Log", "TeX", "Lisp", "Lua", "MATLAB", "Pascal",
"R", "Regular Expression", "Rust", "SQL", "Scala", "Tcl", "XML", "YAML", "Apache
Conf", "ARM Assembly", "Assembly (x86_64)", "CMakeCache", "Comma Separated
Values", "Cabal", "CoffeeScript", "CpuInfo", "Dart Analysis Output", "Dart",
"Dockerfile", "DotENV", "F#", "Friendly Interactive Shell (fish)", "Fortran
(Fixed Form)", "Fortran (Modern)", "Fortran Namelist", "fstab", "GLSL",
"GraphQL", "Groff/troff", "group", "hosts", "INI", "Jinja2", "jsonnet",
"Kotlin", "Less", "LLVM", "Lean", "MemInfo", "Nim", "Ninja", "Nix", "passwd",
"PowerShell", "Protocol Buffer (TEXT)", "Puppet", "Rego", "resolv", "Robot
Framework", "SML", "Strace", "Stylus", "Solidity", "Vyper", "Swift",
"SystemVerilog", "TOML", "Terraform", "TypeScript", "TypeScriptReact",
"Verilog", "VimL", "Zig", "gnuplot", "log", "requirements.txt", "Highlight
non-printables", "Private Key", "varlink"
Later commits will improve startup time for more code paths.
* fix some typos and misspellings

* Add a CHANGELOG.md entry for this PR
We want to make sure that all of our test environments are clean from
possible outside modification. This consolidates the list of used
environment variables in Rust-based and Python-based integration tests.
Note that there is also a similar list in `src/bin/bat/main.rs` which
is even more exhaustive (for bug report collection). However, some
of these variables can not possibly have an effect on test environments.
This will be needed to later support zero-copy deserialization of independent
syntax sets, but is interesting and useful on its own.
Instead of deferring serialization and deserialization to syntect, we implement it
ourselves in the same way, but make compression optional.
We can't use #[from] on Error::Msg(String) because String does not implement Error.
(Which it shouldn't; see e.g. https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/impl-error-for-string/8881.)
So we implement From manually for Error::Msg, since our current code was written
in that way for error-chain.
Move code to build assets to its own file. That results in better modularity and flexibility.
It also allows us to simplify HighlightingAssets a lot, since it will now always
be initialized with a SerializedSyntaxSet.
The v0.18.3 release was a hotfix release to make bat build again with Rust 1.54.
This merge commit brings in all changes from the hotfix release into the master
branch.
In practice, this only brings in one new commit, namely b146958ec. The other
three commits in the release were cherry-picks from master.
