filters: Improved syntax-highlighting.py

- Switched back to python2 according to a problem in pygments with python3.
  With the next release of pygments this problem should be fixed.
  Issue see here:
  https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/pygments-main/issue/901/problems-with-python3
- Just read the stdin, decode it to utf-8 and ignore unknown signs. This ensures
  that even destroyed files do not cause any errors in the filter.
- Improved language guessing:
  -> At first use guess_lexer_for_filename for a better detection of the used
     programming languages (even mixed cases will be detected, e.g. php + html).
  -> If nothing was found look if there is a shebang and use guess_lexer.
  -> As default/fallback choose TextLexer.
