Fix #392: Cmd+A selects a focused field's text or the type being edited

Select All (Cmd/Ctrl+A) now follows the keyboard, as in Illustrator:

- macOS menu bar: the system menu takes Cmd+A/X/C/V before the window
  sees them, so a focused panel, dialog or search field got the document
  command. `menus::invoke_from_system_menu` (used by `NativeMenu::poll`)
  hands Select All, Cut, Copy and Paste to a focused text field as the
  events its keys would send; clicks on those menu items follow the same
  rule. Other commands, and these with no field focused, run as before.
- Type tool: `select.all` itself selects all of the text being edited
  while the Type tool edits (returns {editing, start, end}), so the menu,
  the shortcut, the control channel and headless MCP (`press_key`) agree.
  The UI's own Select All interception and the Type tool's hard-wired
  Cmd+A are gone; Cmd+A reaches it through the Select All shortcut.
- Windows, Linux and the web already left Cmd+A to a focused field; now
  covered by headless app-frame tests (field, Type tool, canvas).

Docs: docs/mcp.md (Select All while editing type), ROADMAP. Not yet:
Select All across threaded frames (one frame's text is selected).
