Alternative C++ improvements

Kevin Pors contributed a changed filetypes.cpp to make the syntax highlighting colors look more like those of GVim and he changed the default set of keywords (primary keywords are builtin types, secondary are statements).

Save the configuration file below in your Geany filetype defintion files config directory, e.g. ~/.config/geany/filedefs/.
