I think the filetypes.* files compatibility was not broken. Rather that 
overriding filetypes style defaults will break color schemes.

If compiling doesn't catch any new errors, I don't think the ABI should 
have been broken. Maybe it's worth reverting the ABI break?

I've now committed a workaround - see the latest 2 commits. Existing 
users should see no change on upgrading Geany, even if they never edited 
any keybindings. New users get the new keybinding defaults.

Also, shouldn't the important/breaking things be in the same group at 
the top? Otherwise when we add the other changes they won't stand out.
