Daniel Martí e2f06cce94 set positions when using cursor.Replace
The regular obfuscation process simply modifies some simple nodes, such
as identifiers and strings. In those cases, we modify the nodes
in-place, meaning that their positions remain the same. This hasn't
caused any problems.

Literal obfuscation is trickier. Since we replace one expression with an
entirely different one, we use cursor.Replace. The new expression is
entirely made up on the spot, so it lacks position information.

This was causing problems. For example, in the added test input:

	> garble -literals build
	[stderr]
	# test/main
	dgcm4t6w.go:3: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:4: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:3: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:6: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:7: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:3: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:9: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:3: misplaced compiler directive
	dgcm4t6w.go:3: too many errors

The build errors are because we'd move the compiler directives, which
makes the compiler unhappy as they must be directly followed by a
function declaration.

The root cause there seems to be that, since the replacement nodes lack
position information, go/printer would try to estimate its printing
position by adding to the last known position. Since -literals adds
code, this would result in the printer position increasing rapidly, and
potentially printing directive comments earlier than needed.

For now, making the replacement nodes have the same position as the
original node seems to stop go/printer from making this mistake.

It's possible that this workaround won't be bulletproof forever, but it
works well for now, and I don't see a simpler workaround right now.
It would be possible to use fancier mechanisms like go/ast.CommentMap or
dave/dst, but those are a significant amount of added complexity as well.

Fixes #285.
