vim-patch:014c731: runtime(doc): make :h virtcol() more accurate (#35976)

The current description (especially the "unlimited width" part) is
inaccurate in several ways:
- The size of virtual text can depend on window width. In particular,
  the size of "above" virtual text can be equal to window width.
- A double-width character that doesn't fit adds 1 to the virtual column
  of the following characters.
- The size of 'showbreak' and 'breakindent' is counted.

       The result is a Number, which is the screen column of the file
-      position given with {expr}.  That is, the last screen position
-      occupied by the character at that position, when the screen
-      would be of unlimited width.  When there is a <Tab> at the
+      position given with {expr}.  That is, the total number of
+      screen cells occupied by the part of the line until the end of
+      the character at that position.  When there is a <Tab> at the
       position, the returned Number will be the column at the end of
       the <Tab>.  For example, for a <Tab> in column 1, with 'ts'
       set to 8, it returns 8. |conceal| is ignored.
