READMEs shouldn't be highlighted when suffixed with ~

So like, ~README? I don't think I've seen that filename used before

I incorrectly wrote prefixed, when I meant suffixed.

So for example, README.md~ will be highlighted, a common in-progress saved suffix.
Similarly, README.md.swp will be highlighted.
But, #README.md# will not be highlighted.

I'm using exa v0.8.0. I'd be happy to give a shot at a PR, if given some pointers where things are done.

Oh! I originally misunderstood your bug report, and was going to say something like "exa should highlight README.md~ as a backup file, rather than as a readme file".

But then I tried it, and you're right, it's a bug:

A PR would be very welcome! It's happening because the filetype checker checks for immediate files (such as readmes) before it checks for tmp files in src/info/filetype.rs. The solution would be to move the temp file check above the immediate file check.
