FYI: GapContent test fix


In the test for GapContent.insertString() we have tested the insertion of
a string at the index after the last character. There was a comment in
it saying that it is a bug in the JDK to not throw a
BadLocationException. However, AFAICS this is not the case. Suppose you
have the following content:

ABCDEFG

and now call GapContent.insertString(7, "XYZ"), then this will (quite
logically IMO) append this:

ABCDEFGXYZ

There is no need to throw a BadLocationException here. What might have
caused confusion here is the fact that the GapContent usually has a
trailing \n character, and normal insertion from an AbstractDocument
never inserts after the \n, but this is an implementation detail of the
document and not GapContent.

I checked in the appended patch to fix this problem.
