Bugfix: caret error marks in compiler output too short

This very old bug in EclipseAdapterUtils calculated the '^' caret error
marks incorrectly. The marks were too short like this:

  void m() { return vax[3]; }
             ^^^^^^^^^^^

Where the correct result would look like this:

  void m() { return vax[3]; }
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This was due to the rather complicated way in which first surrounding
context code - here the leading 'void m() { ' and trailing  ' }' - was
first added and then possible leading white space was cut off again from
the left. It is difficult to explain, the code is a nightmare, trying to
work with char arrays, counting indexes, repeatedly using
System.arraycopy and using lots of counters and offsets. I would have
liked to simplify the code, converting char[] buffers to Strings, but
decided to keep the basic structure for now, not sure what kind of
memory or performance considerations led to this design.
