One place to pick a buffer's highlighter

Filetype detection (extension or shebang) was written out three times
(two open paths in Editor and the ImGui frontend's per-frame check) and
"highlighter for this filetype, else the null one" five times (Buffer's
copy constructor and assignment, Editor::SwitchTo, :set filetype).
Buffer::ApplyDetectedFiletype and InstallFiletypeHighlighter replace
them. The InvalidateFrom(0) calls after SetHighlighter are dropped:
SetHighlighter already clears the caches.
