Subject: [ruby-core:112806] [Ruby master Feature#19452] `Thread::Backtrace::Location` should have column information if possible.

Issue #19452 has been updated by Eregon (Benoit Daloze).

I'm OK with that, I don't need these methods urgently. It will be nice to have public APIs for this kind of functionality vs experimental RubyVM:: stuff.

Feature #19452: `Thread::Backtrace::Location` should have column information if possible.

I discussed this with @mame and it would be pretty useful if we could also get the column information from exception backtrace location, even if it was slow.

A POC:

```ruby
class Thread::Backtrace::Location
  if defined?(RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree)
    def first_column
      RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.of(self, keep_script_lines: true).first_column
    end
  else
    def first_column
      raise NotImplementedError
    end
  end
end
```

It would be good to have a standard interface, so we follow the same interface as https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19451 and vice versa where it makes sense. I'll investigate it.
