LSPs need this because the protocol dictates that you return code
units for offsets. None of our existing APIs provided that
information, and since we hid the source it's not nearly as useful
for them. Now they can pass an encoding directly to:
* Location#start_code_units_offset
* Location#end_code_units_offset
* Location#start_code_units_column
* Location#end_code_units_column

A lot of tools use Ripper/RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree to determine
if a source is valid. These tools both create an AST instead of
providing an API that will return a boolean only.
This new API only creates the C structs, but doesn't bother
reifying them into Ruby/the serialization API. Instead it only
returns true/false, which is significantly more efficient.
