[mediawiki/services/parsoid@master] Linter: Provide accurate DSR offsets for issues in extension content

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/384198

Since the ref linkback in the references section has no markup to indicate it came from a transclusion, this fails.

[subbu@earth mocha] echo "a{{1x|<ref>x<center>c</center>y</ref>}} <references/>" | parse.js --lint
[error/lint][enwiki/Main Page] Missing DSR; msg= {"type":"obsolete-tag","params":{"name":"center"}}
Stack:
  /home/subbu/work/wmf/parsoid/lib/logger/LintLogger.js:21:11
  nextTickCallbackWith0Args (node.js:436:9)
  process._tickCallback (node.js:365:13)

This is more a problem with our HTML representation rather than the linter. A <ref> tag generates two pieces, one at the <ref> site that has the data-mw transclusion info and the other in the <references /> section without the data-mw transclusion info.

There are 2 options here. Use the linkback cite id to look up dsr from the ref site (but this will special case code for the cite extension). Alternatively, we have to duplicate data-mw and data-parsoid info for the ref linkback in the references section.
