Imagine you edit a file and generate only a source map for the lines you've edited. Currently, this causes the remapped sourcemap to largely be blank. From the parent-most sourcemap, we find every segment, then find the associated segment in the child map, so on. Because you didn't record the segments for this edited map, we couldn't find the locations in the child map.

The new behavior is to detect "line markers", eg those created by magic-string by default. Line markers are the only segment on a line, and match [0, SOURCE, LINE, 0] (with the first 0 being the "output column", and the last 0 being the "source column"). Both SOURCE and LINE can be any number, SOURCE being the child sourcemap that this line was created from, and LINE being the line in that source.

So our hypothetical edit map can now inherit a full sourcemap, even though they're only including segments for the edited lines.

More context available at #116.

Fixes #116.
