This is useful where tests previously encoded information in the name
names of ranges and points. Currently, this is pretty limited because
names consist of only alphanumeric characters and '_'.
With this patch, we can keep the names simple and attach optional
payloads to ranges and points instead.
The new syntax should be fully backwards compatible (if I haven't missed
anything). I tested this against clangd unit tests and everything still passes.

Providing access to the mapping of annotations allows test helpers to
be expressive by using the annotations as expectations. For example, a
matcher could verify that all annotated points were matched by a
matcher, or that an refactoring surgically modifies specific ranges.

Summary:
Annotations allow writing nice-looking unit test code when one needs
access to locations from the source code, e.g. running code completion
at particular offsets in a file. See comments in Annotations.cpp for
more details on the API.
Also got rid of a duplicate annotations parsing code in clang's code
complete tests.
