[Geany] R support (was Re: Adding Syntax Highlighting for New FIletype Problem)

[Andrew Rowland]

Jay and Nick,

I used the scintilla176.tgz archive.

When I was trying to get things working, I did rearrange the define
values for R files for some reason I no longer recall.  I've updated the
patch using the original order of R defines, tested that it applies to
version 0.14, rebuilt Geany and verified syntax highlighting works.
Same URL as the original patch.
