more efficient Markup_Tree, based on branches sorted by quasi-order; renamed markup_node.scala to markup_tree.scala and classes/objects accordingly; Position.Range: produce actual Text.Range; Symbol.Index.decode: convert 1-based Isabelle offsets here; added static Command.range; simplified Command.markup; Document_Model.token_marker: flatten markup at most once; tuned;

\begin{warn}
A common mistake when writing definitions is to introduce extra free
variables on the right-hand side.  Consider the following, flawed definition
(where @{text"dvd"} means ``divides''):
@{term[display,quotes]"prime(p) == 1 < p & (m dvd p --> (m=1 | m=p))"}
\par\noindent\hangindent=0pt
Isabelle rejects this ``definition'' because of the extra @{term"m"} on the
right-hand side, which would introduce an inconsistency (why?). 
The correct version is
@{term[display,quotes]"prime(p) == 1 < p & (!m. m dvd p --> (m=1 | m=p))"}
\end{warn}
