Fix byte index error in signature help highlighting

The language server sends a char offset range within the
signature help label text to highlight as the current parameter,
but helix uses byte offset ranges for rendering highlights. This
was brought up in the [review of the original signature help PR][1],
but the ranges were being highlighted correctly, and there were no
out of bound or indexing panics. Turns out rust-analyzer was
[incorrectly sending byte offsets] instead of char offsets and this
made it seem like all was well and good with offsets in helix during
initial testing.
