patches: fix O(position) lag — O(1) fast path in charposForAccessibilityIndex:

charposForAccessibilityIndex: walked composed character sequences
from the start of a visible run to the target AX index.  For a run
covering an entire ASCII buffer, this is O(cursor_position): moving
to line 10,000 requires ~500,000 iterations per call.

The method is called on every SelectedTextChanged notification
response (accessibilityBoundsForRange: from the AX server for cursor
tracking), making cursor movement O(position) in large files.

Fix: when ax_length == length for a run (all characters are single
AX index units — true for all ASCII/Latin text), the charpos offset
is simply ax_idx - run.ax_start.  O(1) instead of O(position).

Multi-byte runs (emoji, CJK, non-BMP) fall back to the sequence walk,
bounded by run length (visible window size), not total buffer size.
