Added CM.registerHelper definition.

-- This is defined in the base library and
   used by a lot of addons.
-- Also fixed position constructor definition, as
   given by codemirror docs:

   CodeMirror.Pos(line: integer, ?ch: integer)
   * A constructor for the {line, ch} objects that are
   * used to represent positions in editor documents.
