markdown: Fix text selection position in centered/right-aligned markdown table cells (#57283)

Table header cells are always center-aligned. When selecting text in
them, the selection highlight was drawn at the left edge of the cell
instead of over the actual visible text. Clicking on a character also
mapped to the wrong source index.

The bug was that `bounds_for_source_range` and
`source_index_for_position` used raw layout x-coordinates (which start
at 0), without accounting for the horizontal offset GPUI applies when
rendering center- or right-aligned text.

The fix stores the `TextAlign` on each `RenderedLine` at flush time,
then uses it to compute an alignment offset per wrapped row segment.
That offset is:
- subtracted from the click position before resolving it to a source
index
- added to the x-coordinates when computing selection highlight bounds
