encoding/csv: add FieldPos method

This enables a consumer of a CSV to find out the position
of a CSV field without implementing an intermediate buffer.
This is useful to produce good higher level error messages when
the CSV syntax is OK but the field values don't match expectations.

This also changes the existing semantics of the `ParseError.Column`
field to bring it in line with precedent elsewhere in the Go
standard library (notably go/token.Position) - the column is
now 1-based and indicates a byte count rather than a rune count,
and the error position reporting at the end of a last line without
a newline is now fixed.

This change has some impact on performance:
