Add more information about running tests, add syntax highlighting

There was no information in the README about how to handle multiple
tests for a given extractor. This commit adds an explanation of how this
is handled.

It also adds some syntax highlighting.

In some cases, you don't want special characters such as 中, spaces, or &, such as when transferring the downloaded filename to a Windows system or the filename through an 8bit-unsafe channel. In these cases, add the `--restrict-filenames` flag to get a shorter title:
$ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc
youtube-dl test video ''_ä↭𝕐.mp4 # All kinds of weird characters
$ youtube-dl --get-filename -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" BaW_jenozKc --restrict-filenames

2. Check out the source code with `git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/youtube-dl.git`
3. Start a new git branch with `cd youtube-dl; git checkout -b yourextractor`
4. Start with this simple template and save it to `youtube_dl/extractor/yourextractor.py`:

from __future__ import unicode_literals

from .common import InfoExtractor
class YourExtractorIE(InfoExtractor):
_VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?yourextractor\.com/watch/(?P<id>[0-9]+)'

'title': 'Video title goes here',

# * A value
# * MD5 checksum; start the string with md5:

```python
# coding: utf-8
from __future__ import unicode_literals
import re
from .common import InfoExtractor
class YourExtractorIE(InfoExtractor):
_VALID_URL = r'https?://(?:www\.)?yourextractor\.com/watch/(?P<id>[0-9]+)'
_TEST = {

}
def _real_extract(self, url):
mobj = re.match(self._VALID_URL, url)
video_id = mobj.group('id')
# TODO more code goes here, for example ...
webpage = self._download_webpage(url, video_id)
title = self._html_search_regex(r'<h1>(.*?)</h1>', webpage, 'title')
return {
'id': video_id,
'title': title,

}
def _real_extract(self, url):
mobj = re.match(self._VALID_URL, url)

return {
'id': video_id,
'title': title,

}
```
5. Add an import in [`youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py).
6. Run `python test/test_download.py TestDownload.test_YourExtractor`. This *should fail* at first, but you can continually re-run it until you're done.
* If you decide to add more than one test, then rename the ``_TEST`` variable to ``_TESTS`` and make it into a list of dictionaries, like the example below. The tests will be then respectfully be named `TestDownload.test_YourExtractor`, `TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_1`, `TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_2`, etc.
```python
_TESTS = [
{
'url': 'http://yourextractor.com/watch/42',
'md5': 'TODO: md5 sum of the first 10KiB of the video file',
'info_dict': {
'id': '42',
'ext': 'mp4',
'title': 'Video title goes here',
# TODO more properties, either as:
# * A value
# * MD5 checksum; start the string with md5:
# * A regular expression; start the string with re:
# * Any Python type (for example int or float)
}
},
{
'url': 'http://yourextractor.com/watch/43',
'md5': 'TODO: md5 sum of the first 10KiB of the video file',
'info_dict': {
'id': '43',
'ext': 'mp4',
'title': 'Video title goes here',
}
}
]
```
7. Have a look at [`youtube_dl/common/extractor/common.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py) for possible helper methods and a [detailed description of what your extractor should return](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L38). Add tests and code for as many as you want.
8. If you can, check the code with [pyflakes](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyflakes) (a good idea) and [pep8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) (optional, ignore E501).
9. When the tests pass, [add](https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-add.html) the new files and [commit](https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html) them and [push](https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html) the result, like this:
