Move line-number-at-pos to C

* doc/lispref/positions.texi (Text Lines): Revert previous change.

* lisp/simple.el (line-number-at-pos): Remove definition.

* lisp/simple.el (count-lines): Revert back to using
`forward-line', because there seems to be a disagreement on how
lines should be counted in a region...

* src/fns.c (Fline_number_at_pos): Rename from
Fline_number_at_position and adjust parameter list.
