1574977 - Revive `mach pastebin` for use with the new paste tool

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, task)

Description

[Connor Sheehan [:sheehan]]

In bug 1480362 we killed mach pastebin, since the service it pasted to was being decommissioned. Now that paste.mozilla.org is around, we should bring it back.

I've got a patch to do this, but I found a bug with the API endpoint for the new service.

This commit re-implements mach pastebin for use with the new Mozilla
pastebin tool (paste.mozilla.org). As with the old implementation, the
tool supports passing a file for upload as well as reading content to
paste from stdin.

dpaste (the software that runs paste.mo) is supposed to support
sniffing the correct syntax highlighter from the given filename, but
this feature does not seem to work (both on paste.mo nor dpaste.de).
Instead we have a mapping of known filename extensions to known available
highlighters on paste.mo. mach paste will attempt to guess a
highlighter from the file extension or the basename of the file if none
is available.
