    Issue 2172: Get line and column numbers right.

    This uses 1-based columns on all error output, as is the standard for
    GNU programs.  It also flags version errors as being for line 1
    instead of line 0 since the latter confuses Emacs' compilation mode.

    The same column convention is used for point-and-click column numbers
    in textedit:// URIs.  In contrast, the byte offsets into a line (also
    in those URIs) are retained 0-based.

    For point-and-click, this yields the correct results when using the
    definitions for emacs and gvim in scm/editor.scm, the editors
    configured to interpret the column number.

    It is to be expected that Lilypond-specific shells (like Frescobaldi
    called via Okular for point-and-click) have specialized on the
    previous wrong behavior and will now exhibit the kind of one-off
    behavior that non-LilyPond specific programs did previously when
    encountering the error messages.

    I don't see a good migration strategy for those except possibly
    looking for the version number of LilyPond and deciding whether to do
    one-off calculations depending on that.
