Add set_position method to Cursor

Without the ability to seek, the `Cursor` type is only useful for
wrapping owned buffers. In `std` the equivalent type also allows
seeking. We currently do not have the `Seek` trait so this simply adds a
method to set the position. Further, this adds a method to access inner
type so seeking from the end can be implemented (to compute the position
relative to the end).

Closes rust-bitcoin#3174
