This change allows `layouter` to use the `TextBuffer` instead of `&str`
in the closure. It is necessary when layout decisions depend on more
than just the raw string content, such as metadata stored in the
concrete type implementing `TextBuffer`.
In [our use case](https://github.com/damus-io/notedeck/pull/723), we
needed this to support mention highlighting when a user selects a
mention. Since mentions can contain spaces, determining mention
boundaries from the `&str` alone is impossible. Instead, we use the
`TextBuffer` implementation to retrieve the correct bounds.

# Breaking change
This PR introduces a breaking change to the `layouter` function in
`TextEdit`.
Previous API:
```rust
pub fn layouter(mut self, layouter: &'t mut dyn FnMut(&Ui, &str, f32) -> Arc<Galley>) -> Self
```
New API:
```rust
pub fn layouter(mut self, layouter: &'t mut dyn FnMut(&Ui, &dyn TextBuffer, f32) -> Arc<Galley>) -> Self
```
## Impact on Existing Code
• Any existing usage of `layouter` will **no longer compile**.
• Callers must update their closures to use `&dyn TextBuffer` instead of
`&str`.
## Migration Guide
Before:
```rust
let mut layouter = |ui: &Ui, text: &str, wrap_width: f32| {
let layout_job = my_highlighter(text);
layout_job.wrap.max_width = wrap_width;
ui.fonts(|f| f.layout_job(layout_job))
};
```
After:
```rust
let mut layouter = |ui: &Ui, text: &dyn TextBuffer, wrap_width: f32| {
let layout_job = my_highlighter(text.as_str());
layout_job.wrap.max_width = wrap_width;
ui.fonts(|f| f.layout_job(layout_job))
};
```

Other text layout libraries in Rust--namely, Parley and Cosmic
Text--have one canonical text cursor type (Parley's is a byte index,
Cosmic Text's also stores the line index). To prepare for migrating egui
to one of those libraries, it should also have only one text cursor
type. I also think simplifying the API is a good idea in and of
itself--having three different cursor types that you have to convert
between (and a `Cursor` struct which contains all three at once) is
confusing.
After a bit of experimentation, I found that the best cursor type to
coalesce around is `CCursor`. In the few places where we need a
paragraph index or row/column position, we can calculate them as
necessary.
I've removed `CursorRange` and `PCursorRange` (the latter appears to
have never been used), merging the functionality with `CCursorRange`. To
preserve the cursor position when navigating row-by-row, `CCursorRange`
now stores the previous horizontal position of the cursor.
I've also removed `PCursor`, and renamed `RowCursor` to `LayoutCursor`
(since it includes not only the row but the column). I have not renamed
either `CCursorRange` or `CCursor` as those names are used in a lot of
places, and I don't want to clutter this PR with a bunch of renames.
I'll leave it for a later PR.
Finally, I've removed the deprecated methods from `TextEditState`--it
made the refactoring easier, and it should be pretty easy to migrate to
the equivalent `TextCursorState` methods.
I'm not sure how many breaking changes people will actually encounter. A
lot of these APIs were technically public, but I don't think many were
useful. The `TextBuffer` trait now takes `&CCursorRange` instead of
`&CursorRange` in a couple of methods, and I renamed
`CCursorRange::sorted` to `CCursorRange::sorted_cursors` to match
`CursorRange`.
I did encounter a couple of apparent minor bugs when testing out text
cursor behavior, but I checked them against the current version of egui
and they're all pre-existing.

I removed (I hope so) all wildcard imports I found.
For me on my pc this improved the build time:
- for egui -5s
- for eframe -12s

* Closes https://github.com/emilk/egui/issues/3804
Add ability to select the text in labels with mouse-drag, double-click,
and keyboard (once clicked).
Hit Cmd+C to copy the text. If everything of a label with elided text is
selected, the copy command will copy the full non-elided text. IME and
accesskit _should_ work, but is untested.
You can control wether or not text in labels is selected globally in
`style.interaction.selectable_labels` or on a per-label basis in
`Label::selectable`. The default is ON.
This also cleans up the `TextEdit` code somewhat, fixing a couple
smaller bugs along the way.
This does _not_ implement selecting text across multiple widgets. Text
selection is only supported within a single `Label`, `TextEdit`, `Link`
or `Hyperlink`.
