Gedit syntax highlighting

Note this is purely a highlighting NOT a syntax validator, the highlighting may not be 100% correct and not all arguments or keywords may be recognised properly. Feel free to change a regex if you have got a better one.

The syntax highlighting will automatically be applied to all files with conky in their name. eg. my_config.conky (unfortunately it also triggers for the conky.lang file itself, you should set it to XML manually)

Developers: if you want to add a new keyword just add it (in order) to the list. In keywordsConfig for config keywords and in keywordsText for variables. If it has a number at the end, eg color1 just use color[0-9]{1} if the number is mendatory or color[0-9]? if it is not.

If you want to add your own group of argument keywords you can look at the current definitions and copy them, should be self explainatory.
