Gregory Szorc c20551dc4f highlight: add option to prevent content-only based fallback
When Mozilla enabled Pygments on hg.mozilla.org, we got a lot of weirdly
colorized files. Upon further investigation, the hightlight extension
is first attempting a filename+content based match then falling back to a
purely content-driven detection mode in Pygments. Sounds good in theory.

Unfortunately, Pygments' content-driven detection establishes no minimum
threshold for returning a lexer. Furthermore, the detection code for
a number of languages is very liberal. For example, ActionScript 3 will
return a confidence of 0.3 (out of 1.0) if the first 1k of the file
we pass in matches the regex "\w+\s*:\s*\w"! Python matches on
"import ". It's no coincidence that a number of our extension-less files
were getting highlighted improperly.

This patch adds an option to have the highlighter not fall back to
purely content-based detection when filename+content detection failed.
This can be enabled to render unlighted text instead of taking the risk
that unknown file types are highlighted incorrectly. The old behavior is
still the default.
