refactor(tazjin/rlox): Let scanner tokens own their lexeme r/2107
This removes the runtime dependency on a borrow into the program
source code.

It's not yet ideal because there are a lot of tokens where we really
don't care about the lexeme, but this is what the book does and I
am not going to change that.
