Don't match keywords if they are preceded by a dot and add the 'sequence' keyword (SublimeText#186)

* Change keyword matching regex

Keywords (with the exception of 'where' and 'foreach') should not be considered as such if they are preceded by a '.'.
The tests relative to keywords used as members or methods now pass.
'process' is now considered a block keyword.

* Add 'sequence' keyword

Also make the relative syntax test pass.

* Change test assertion in Function syntax test

Now the test reflects the change of the 'process' keyword from uncategorised to block.

* Change Parameter matching regex to match 'PositionalBinding'

The relevant test in the function syntax test now passes.

* Consume string with a trailing dot before checking for keywords

This makes negative lookbehind assertions on keywords unnecessary.

* Add scope to matched unquoted strings

* Match word boundary to avoid highlighting invalid arguments
