bpo-40612: Fix SyntaxError edge cases in traceback formatting (GH-20072)
This fixes both the traceback.py module and the C code for formatting syntax errors (in Python/pythonrun.c). They now both consistently do the following: - Suppress caret if it points left of text - Allow caret pointing just past end of line - If caret points past end of line, clip to *just* past end of line The syntax error formatting code in traceback.py was mostly rewritten; small, subtle changes were applied to the C code in pythonrun.c. There's still a difference when the text contains embedded newlines. Neither handles these very well, and I don't think the case occurs in practice. Automerge-Triggered-By: @gvanrossum
