Description

### Description

Programmatic updates to `SourceEditorState.cursorPositions` are never applied to the underlying `TextViewController`.

In `SourceEditor.updateControllerWithState(_:controller:)`, the new cursor positions are compared with the same state value:

```swift
if let cursorPositions = state.cursorPositions, cursorPositions != state.cursorPositions {
controller.setCursorPositions(cursorPositions)
}
```

Because `cursorPositions` was just unwrapped from `state.cursorPositions`, the comparison is always false.

### To Reproduce

1. Create a `SourceEditor` with a binding to `SourceEditorState`.
2. After the editor appears, programmatically assign a different value to `state.cursorPositions`.
3. Observe that the editor cursor does not move to the requested position.

### Expected Behavior

Changing `SourceEditorState.cursorPositions` should update the cursor positions in the underlying controller.

The comparison likely needs to use the controller's current state:

```swift
if let cursorPositions = state.cursorPositions,
cursorPositions != controller.cursorPositions {
controller.setCursorPositions(cursorPositions)
}
```
