[bug] python-mode, jit-lock, syntax-pss during file load

[Karl Chen]

(syntax-ppss) doesn't work correctly at file load when
font-lock-support-mode is 'jit-lock-mode.

Symptom: when (re)loading a python file whose initial contents
look like:

'''   ...  '
blah1:
  blah2

'''

If jit-lock-mode is on, then python-mode guesses python-indent of
2 because it thinks "blah1:" is not in a string.

If you evaluate (python-guess-indent) after the file has loaded,
it returns 4.  It only returns 2 while the file is loading.  (It
was annoying that python-guess-indent returns different results
when debugging is enabled!)

Other font lock support modes (or no font lock) might also have
problems.  I think the fix is to force syntaxification/
fontification before python-guess-indent is called.
