This patch adds support for incremental document syncing, as described
in the LSP spec. The protocol specifies ranges in terms of Position (a
line and a character), and our drafts are stored as plain strings. So I
see two things that may not be super efficient for very large files:
- Converting a Position to an offset (the positionToOffset function) requires searching for end of lines until we reach the desired line.
- When we update a range, we construct a new string, which implies copying the whole document.
However, for the typical size of a C++ document and the frequency of
update (at which a user types), it may not be an issue. This patch aims
at getting the basic feature in, and we can always improve it later if
we find it's too slow.

A comment mentioning that 2 means incremental document sync from LSP would be useful here.
