Function InputTextReconcileUndoState

external/imgui/imgui_widgets.cpp:4555–4577

Find the shortest single replacement we can make to get from old_buf to new_buf Note that this doesn't directly alter state->TextA, state->TextLen. They are expected to be made valid separately. FIXME: Ideally we should transition toward (1) making InsertChars()/DeleteChars() update undo-stack (2) discourage (and keep reconcile) or obsolete (and remove reconcile) accessing buffer directly.
