Implement getStartColumn for reflection?

[TysonAndre]

https://bugs.php.net/search.php?cmd=display&search_for=+getstartcolumn&x=0&y=0 doesn't show anything.

Maybe possible in php 7.3

Also include in AST structure?

Including in php error messages may be useful (8.x?)

Having this would improve phan's error messages

• Another dev looked into this and determined this would impact parsing performance and so on too much to be viable, which is why this wasn't done

Probably not happening soon - see HANDLE_NEWLINE in Zend/zend_language_scanner.
It might be possible if the most recent newline's byte offset is tracked, and by subtracting the current offset from that, but I'm not sure how to access that.
