implement target range in edit event

Looking at bug 4782, I found that SDL didn't provide a way to get IME target range.
(I had thought I could get it as event.edit.start and event.edit.length, but they are just a readingstring range, which Japanese IMEs rarely use.)

You can see what the "target" means by seeing the picture attached to bug 4782.
To liken IME to an translator, she may translate "I love you" to "Je vous aime." But you may tell her to use "te" instead of "vous." In this case, your target is "vous."
