Xi Ge 031488bada libSyntax: several enhancements on source location bridging. (#13956) ...

libSyntax nodes don't maintain absolute source location on each
individual node. Instead, the absolute locations are calculated on
demand with a given root by accumulating the length of all the other
nodes before the target node. This bridging is important for issuing
diagnostics from libSyntax entities.

With the observation that our current implementation of the source
location calculation has multiple bugs, this patch re-implemented this
bridging by using the newly-added syntax visitor. Also, we moved the function
from RawSyntax to Syntax for better visibility.

To test this source location calculation, we added a new action in
swift-syntax-test. This action parses a given file as a
SourceFileSyntax, calculates the absolute location of the
EOF token in the SourceFileSyntax, and dump the buffer from the start
of the input file to the absolute location of the EOF. Finally, we compare
the dump with the original input to ensure they are identical.
