Handle SyntaxErrors in a slightly smarter way
SyntaxErrors are strange and mystical beasts. On top of the problems we
encountered previously in GitLab#237, it's now apparent that
SyntaxErrors can also occur across multiple lines (in fact, across the
rest of a file). In the event of a "multi-line" SyntaxError, we need to
determine what row to report and what the column number is.

For now, we're going to use the row number of the first line and limit
the column number to be less than the end of the line. It may not be
perfect, but it is slightly better.

Related-to #237
Closes #259

========
 Flake8
========

Flake8 is a wrapper around these tools:

- PyFlakes
- pycodestyle
- Ned Batchelder's McCabe script

Flake8 runs all the tools by launching the single ``flake8`` command.
It displays the warnings in a per-file, merged output.

It also adds a few features:

- files that contain this line are skipped::

    # flake8: noqa

- lines that contain a ``# noqa`` comment at the end will not issue warnings.
- you can ignore specific errors on a line with ``# noqa: <error>``, e.g.,
  ``# noqa: E234``
- Git and Mercurial hooks
- extendable through ``flake8.extension`` and ``flake8.formatting`` entry
  points


Quickstart
==========

See our `quickstart documentation
<http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/index.html#quickstart>`_ for how to install
and get started with Flake8.
