byte_span() allows to refer to specific ranges of source code within a document note that this works on Token level to allow referring to a specific token within an Element (e.g. PPI::Token::Word within PPI::Statement::Include) for every token we now store its starting byte position and ending byte is deduced as start byte + token byte length this works for all token types except HereDoc, which requires some extra bookkeeping see comments in lib/PPI/Token/HereDoc.pm for further details

This patch adds a new method that returns positions of the first and the last bytes of a Token (byte span).
It comes in handy e.g. when building smart code viewer apps (
PPI::Element->location()is not precise enough) or working with code analysis libraries (all libraries I'm aware of require byte offsets).
