Add compact cursor position format setting for status bar

[NaveedAhmeds]

Resolves #296912

Add a workbench setting to show the editor cursor position in a compact line:column format in the status bar instead of the default Ln X, Col Y.

Changes

• Add workbench.statusBar.compactPositionFormat setting under Workbench settings.
• Render the cursor position as line:column when the setting is enabled.
• Keep Ln X, Col Y as the default format.

How to test

• Build and run VS Code from this branch.
• Open a text file and observe the default cursor position format: Ln X, Col Y.
• Enable Workbench › Status Bar: Compact Position Format in Settings.
• Verify the cursor position shows as line:column (for example 42:7), including for selections / ranges.
• Disable the setting and verify the format returns to Ln X, Col Y.
