Synchronize command text and visual cursor

Background: There's a formula cursor and a command text cursor, it would be great if they could be synchronized. This could be achieved by updating the character offsets for the tokens in SmNodeToTextVisitor, and then use this information to synchronize cursor positions and selections. Feel free to ping Jonas for more information and help getting started.

Skills: Building, C++
