vim-patch:210b39c: runtime(doc): clarify documentation for "v" position at line() (#29296)

Browse Source 
Problem: the previous documentation falsely states that "v" always
refers to the start of a visual area.  In fact, the reference of "v" and
"." complement each other.  If the cursor is at the start of
a (characterwise) visual area, then "v" refers to the end of the area.

Solution: be more verbose and explicit about the connection between "."
and "v" and also refer to |v_o| which many vim users will be familiar
with for visual areas.

v When not in Visual mode, returns the cursor
position. In Visual mode, returns the other end
of the Visual area. A good way to think about
this is that in Visual mode "v" and "." complement
each other. While "." refers to the cursor
position, "v" refers to where |v_o| would move the
cursor. As a result, you can use "v" and "."
together to work on all of a selection in
characterwise visual mode. If the cursor is at
the end of a characterwise visual area, "v" refers
to the start of the same visual area. And if the
cursor is at the start of a characterwise visual
area, "v" refers to the end of the same visual
area. "v" differs from |'<| and |'>| in that it's
updated right away.
Note that a mark in another file can be used. The line number
then applies to another buffer.
To get the column number use |col()|. To get both use
