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.
