Movement fixes, refactor and unit test suite (#217)

* Add convenience/clarity wrapper for Range initialization

* Test horizontal moves

* Add column jumping tests

* Add failing movement conditions for multi-word moves

* Refactor skip_over_next

* Add complex forward movement unit tests

* Add strict whitespace checks and edge case tests

* Restore formatting

* Remove unused function

* Add empty test case for deletion and fix nth_prev_word_boundary

* Add tests for backward motion

* Refactor word movement

* Address review comments and finish refactoring backwards move

* Finish unit test suite

* Fmt pass

* Fix lint erors

* Clean up diff restoring bad 'cargo fmt' actions

* Simplify movement closures (thanks Pickfire)

* Fmt pass

* Replace index-based movement with iterator based movement, ensuring that each move incurs a single call to the RopeSlice API

* Break down tuple function

* Extract common logic to all movement functions

* Split iterator helpers away into their own module

* WIP reducing clones

* Operate on spans

* WIP simplifying iterators

* Simplify motion helpers

* Fix iterator

* Fix all unit tests

* Refactor and simplify

* Simplify fold
