The main reason for this is that we need to include information about
a buffer's UndoMap into its protobuf representation. But it's a bit
complex to correctly incorporate this information into the current
protobuf representation.
If we want to continue reusing `Buffer::apply_remote_edit` for
incorporating the historical operations, we need to either make
that method capable of incorporating already-undone edits, or
serialize the UndoMap into undo *operations*, so that we can apply
these undo operations after the fact when deserializing. But this is
not trivial, because an UndoOperation requires information about
the full offset ranges that were undone.
