The default is now a whopping 64K matches, which "should be enough for
everyone". You can use the new `ts_query_cursor_set_match_limit`
function to set this to a lower limit, such as the previous default of
32.
This function (and the similar `ts_tree_cursor_goto_first_child_for_byte`)
allows you to efficiently seek the tree cursor to a given position,
exploiting the tree's internal balancing, without having to visit
all of the preceding siblings of each node.
This restores the original signatures of the `set_byte_range` and
`set_point_range` functions. Now, the QueryCursor will properly report
matches that intersect, but are not fully contained by its range.

Well, not completely unlimited — we're still using a 16-bit counter to
keep track of them. But we longer have a static maximum of 32 pending
matches when executing a query.
We have several test cases defined in the `cli` crate that depend on the
`lib` crate's `allocation-tracking` feature. The implementation of the
actual allocation tracker used to live in the `cli` crate, close to the
test cases that use it. The `allocation-tracking` feature in the `lib`
crate was just used to tell the tree-sitter implementation to expect
that the allocation tracker exists, and to use it.
That pattern meant that we had a circular dependency: `cli` depends on
`lib`, but `lib` required some code that was implemented in `cli`.
That, in turn, caused linker errors — but only when compiling in certain
configurations! [1]
This patch moves all of the allocation tracking implementation into the
`lib` crate, gated on the existing `allocation-tracking` feature, which
fixes the circular dependency.
Note that this patch does **not** fix the fact that feature unification
causes the `lib` crate to be built with the `allocation-tracking`
feature enabled, even though it's not a default. Fixing that depends on
the forthcoming version 2 feature resolver [2], or using the `dev_dep`
workaround [3] in the meantime.
