syntax-highlighting.sh: Fix command injection.
By not quoting the argument, an attacker with the ability to add files to the repository could pass arbitrary arguments to the highlight command, in particular, the --plug-in argument which can lead to arbitrary command execution. This patch adds simple argument quoting.
