Currently, cloning this repository on Windows is a major pain because of the Jinja2 syntax, which contains a colon in a file name.

This PR changes the submodule URL from @Martin819's fork to @senekor's one, which adds a commit on top that renames the file.

I didn't add an entry to the changelog, as I suppose this is not a user-facing feature.

Fixes #2991

I don't recommend doing this. I don't intend to maintain my fork. Might even delete it at some point. Upstream is not responding to PRs, unfortunately. If somebody wants to rely on my patch, they should take it into their own fork.

@senekor Sorry, I thought I could use your fork exactly because the base one is unmaintained for 6 years, and you already solved the problem.

I didn't expect you to maintain it. I can create my own fork if you prefer, but won't maintain it either.

If the upstream author (or anyone else) shows up, we can always switch back.

FYI: these days a better Jinja2 syntax would be https://github.com/Sublime-Instincts/BetterJinja but syntect doesn't support extends yet
