[Orgmode] Org now fontifies code blocks

[Dan Davison]

I've just pushed changes which mean that Org now fontifies code in code
blocks. Currently, this is turned on by default, so it would be helpful
if people could report any problems, and opinions as to whether it
should be on or off by default.

To turn it off, use

(setq org-src-fontify-natively nil)

With it off, there are two functions for manually fontifying code
blocks: `org-src-fontify-block' and `org-src-fontify-buffer'.

With it on, on my netbook, there is a slight delay when typing in code
blocks of over 100 lines in length, and this is pronounced in code
blocks of several hundred lines.

Just to be clear, this is fontification only -- no other language major
mode features -- so the default method of editing code is still C-c '
(org-edit-src-code).

Thanks to David O'Toole for the original patch. The final version of the
patch is based on Carsten's suggestions for a more efficient
implementation.
