Robby Findler 95841b9303 lift the restriction that the port passed to open-input-text-editor
cannot change its revision number during reading

This restriction was enforced only for editors that have non
string-snip% snips. The restriction was in place because the
implementation strategy was to chain thru the snips in the editor
using (send snip next) and that isn't safe if the revision number
changes.

The lifting of the restriction is implemented by tracking the position
in the editor where the last snip ended and, if the revision number
changes, starting over trying to get a snip from that position. This
has the effect that, if the revision number never changes, the code
should behave the same as it was doing before (so hopefully any new
bugs I've introduced in this commit will only show up if the old
implementation would have raised an error)

Also, exploit the lifting of this restriction in the colorer so it
doesn't to restart the port during to coloring that happens along with
the parsing
