PDFBOX-3576: add getters, equals and hashcode as suggested by Kurt Devlin
> Add getter methods to TextPosition

> I've inherited code in my department that created a local copy of
> TextPosition and broke it's immutability. I'm trying to refactor this code
> and use the core Apache implementation and I understand the need for
> TextPosition to be immutable, but can getters be added to provide read-only
> access to the class's fields?
> We have custom code that does comparison of endX/endY values to determine if
> there are overlapping characters and other features. In our application, we
> also have a swap feature where we need to create/clone new TextPosition
> instances with minor differences between an existing TextPosition instance.
> Since there are a lot of fields that are required by the constructor of the
> new instances, but can't be read from an existing instance, we need a way to
> access these fields.
> There probably should also be an override for equals() and hashCode().
