make src block location available to execution backends

* lisp/ob-core.el (org-babel-where-is-src-block-head): return
  point-marker instead of point.

  (org-babel-current-exec-src-block-head): new global variable which is
  bound during `org-babel-execute-src-block-maybe'

  (org-babel-get-src-block-info): return a list of 7 elements, last
  being the header location

Evaluation backends might need to use the exact location of the block in
original org file. For example when inserting the correct source
references for visual debugging. With this patch the information on
current block is available in `org-babel-current-exec-src-block-head'.
