Yi Ming 9174157f74 feat(pos): pos:to_offset(), pos.offset() #39564
Problem:
For a given position, it is not easy to compare which of several other positions is closest to it.

Solution:
Add support for converting `vim.Pos` to a buffer byte offset.

This allows for sorting, e.g:
```lua
table.sort(positions, function(pos1, pos2)
  return pos1:to_offset() < pos2:to_offset()
end
```

Or a binary search, e.g:
```lua
vim.list.bisect(positions, pos, { key = function(pos) return pos:to_offset() end })
```

---@brief
---
--- EXPERIMENTAL: This API is unstable, do not use it. Its semantics are not yet finalized.
--- Subscribe to this issue to stay updated: https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/25509
---
--- Provides operations to compare, calculate, and convert positions represented by |vim.Pos|
--- objects.
local api = vim.api
local validate = vim.validate
--- Represents a well-defined position.
---
--- A |vim.Pos| object contains the {row} and {col} coordinates of a position.
--- To create a new |vim.Pos| object, call `vim.pos()`.
---
--- Example:
--- ```lua
--- local pos1 = vim.pos(0, 3, 5)
--- local pos2 = vim.pos(0, 4, 0)
---
--- -- Operators are overloaded for comparing two `vim.Pos` objects.
--- if pos1 < pos2 then
--- print("pos1 comes before pos2")
--- end
---
--- if pos1 ~= pos2 then
--- print("pos1 and pos2 are different positions")
--- end
--- ```
---
--- It may include optional fields that enable additional capabilities,
--- such as format conversions.
---
---@class vim.Pos
