Action: Add DeleteSelections action and update default keybindings

This commit introduces a new `DeleteSelections` action that acts as a global check for active selections across all cursors.
If any selections exist, it deletes them and returns true, preventing subsequent chained actions from executing.

The default keybindings for `deleteWordLeft` (Alt-Backspace/Ctrl-H) have been  updated to chain `DeleteSelections|DeleteWordLeft`.
This ensures predictable behavior in multi-cursor scenarios:
If any cursor has a selection, the "Delete Selection" behavior takes precedence over directional word deletion, preventing accidental deletion of adjacent text when selections are present.
