Sync overlay code in minibuffer-message and set-minibuffer-message (bug#48669)

* lisp/minibuffer.el (minibuffer-message): Copy more overlay positioning code
from set-minibuffer-message.
(minibuffer--message-overlay-pos): Mention both minibuffer-message and
set-minibuffer-message in the docstring.
(set-minibuffer-message): Use 'cursor t' instead of 1.
