Mitchell Hashimoto 52368cbcff core: send selection_changed notification (#12902 )

The core had no signal to the apprt when the active selection changed,
so a consumer (e.g. a screen reader) kept reading a stale selection
until some unrelated query refreshed it.

This change adds a payload-less selection_changed action that's fired on
a selection state transition. The apprt reads the current selection
through the normal read path.

This consolidates selection state changes so the notification fires
consistently: all sites route through setSelection rather than calling
screen.select directly, including the mouse paths that previously
bypassed it for clipboard timing.

The new setSelectionAndCopy extends setSelection with the additional
'copy_on_select' behavior.

On macOS, this posts .ghosttySelectionDidChange, which is debounced
before posting a NSAccessibility .selectedTextChanged notification.

GTK has no consumer yet and no-ops the action.
