This callback-based API allows the parser to easily visit each interior node
of the stack when searching for an error repair. It also is a better abstraction
over the stack's DAG implementation than having the public functions for
accessing entries and their successor entries.
Since the capacity is now included in the return value, the buffer
can be reused in the ts_parser__accept function. Also, it's just
cleaner to use Array consistently, rather than a separate buffer
and size.
I want to re-use the stack data structure for storing the
re-usable nodes from the previous parse tree during an edit.
In this case, the stack won't conceptually start at position
zero, so the name 'right_position' doesn't make sense.
The `pos` and `size` functions for Nodes now return TSLength structs,
which contain lengths in both characters and bytes. This is important
for knowing the number of unicode characters in a Node.
This reverts commit 5cd07648fd.
The separators construct is useful as an optimization. It turns out that
constructing a node for every chunk of whitespace in a document causes a
significant performance regression.

Now, grammars can handle whitespace by making it another ubiquitous
token, like comments.
For now, this has the side effect of whitespace being included in the
tree that precedes it. This was already an issue for other ubiquitous
tokens though, so it needs to be fixed anyway.
Now, the root node of a document is always a document node.
It will often have only one child node which corresponds to the grammar's
start symbol, but not always. Currently, it may have more than one child
if there are ubiquitous tokens such as comments at the beginning of the
document. In the future, it will also be possible be possible to have multiple
for the document to have multiple children if the document is partially parsed.
