4 people 7ad75b5db2 Layer masks: Reveal Selection drops the selection, as Photoshop does (#5251) ...

A mask made from the selection takes the selection with it in Photoshop: after
Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection (the Layers panel's mask button with a
selection) the marching ants are gone. PhotoCraft kept the selection, so the
usual next step, Invert (Cmd/Ctrl+I) on the new mask, inverted only the part
inside the old selection and left the whole mask black, instead of flipping
the mask. Hide Selection (the Alt-click variant) already dropped it.

Reveal Selection now clears the selection in the same history step as the
mask: one undo brings the selection back and removes the mask.

Tests: adjust_cmds::tests::reveal_selection_drops_the_selection_so_invert_flips_the_whole_mask
(8/16/32-bit). Tests that deselected right after Reveal Selection no longer
need to (Deselect is disabled without a selection); layer_mask_depth and the
automation agent tasks now expect the selection to be gone.
