implemented the ^Q command for converting between line and glyph positions
* As known from DEC TECO, but extended to convert absolute positions to line numbers as well. :^Q returns the current line. * Especially useful in macros that accept line arguments, as it is much shorter than something like ^E@ES/LINEFROMPOSITION//+Q.l@ES/POSITIONFROMLINE//:^E-. * On the other hand, the fact that ^Q checks the line range means we cannot easily replace lexer.checkheader with something like [:J 0,^Q::S...$ ]: Using SCI_POSITIONFROMLINE still has the advantage that it returns `Z` for out-of-bounds ranges which would be cumbersome to write with the current ^Q. * Perhaps there should be a separate command for converting between absolute lines and positions and :^Q should be repurposed to return a failure boolean for out-of-range values? * fnkeys.tes could be simplified.
