Recent Scintilla uses std::from_chars for selection serialization.
std::from_chars is defined by <charconv>.

std::from_chars is part of C++17. Scintilla has required C++17 for 7
years now and code changes should be able to depend on this.

Supporting older compiler versions adds extra work to new features and
maintenance so it's unlikely I'll accept work-arounds. Indeed, it may
be time to consider incrementing the language baseline to C++20, a
standard from 5 years ago.
