Speed up cursor column calculation in the status bar for long lines

[KAMI911]

Motivation

The status bar position indicator computed the column number by stepping through a GtkTextIter one character at a time from the start of the current line to the cursor (gtk_text_iter_get_char + gtk_text_iter_forward_char + gtk_text_iter_equal on every step). This runs on essentially every cursor movement, including while typing, so on a very long line — a minified script or a large single-line JSON file — it added a noticeable delay on each keystroke, since the cost scales with the cursor's column position.

The loop now fetches the text between the start of the line and the cursor with a single gtk_text_iter_get_slice() call and walks the resulting plain UTF-8 string instead, avoiding the repeated iterator validation and buffer lookups of the old approach, while producing the exact same column number, including the same tab-expansion handling.

Result

Verified with a standalone GtkTextBuffer test harness comparing the old and new implementations side by side:

• Correctness: identical output on 8 cases (empty line, plain ASCII, a single tab, a tab mid-line, multiple tabs, multibyte UTF-8, mixed tabs + UTF-8, tabs not on a tab-stop boundary).
• Performance: on a synthetic 300,000-character line, the old per-iterator loop took 7.41 ms, the new slice-based walk took 1.27 ms — about 5.8× faster — while returning the same column number.
