The existing line/column indexes in `SourceSpan` are useful for some cases,
e.g. editors that are line based. But for other cases, it's useful to be able
to get the index within the original input string.
An example: If the input string is "foo\n\nbar", the "bar" paragraph has
the following `SourceSpan`: line 2 (third line), column 0, length 3.
With this change, now it also includes the input index: 5 ("b" is the character
at index 5 in the string). That means it's possible to use e.g. `substring`
instead of having to split the input text into lines first.
