Expand empty selections to cover full word when doing case conversions and fix bugs (#2826)

When doing case conversions, specifically in the case of an empty
selection, in both VS Code and Sublime, the cursor winds up being in a
different place relative to where it started.

In VS Code, the cursor maintains it position in the text, no matter if
the text expands or shrinks

In Sublime, I have no idea what is going on:

I thought it would be a better experience if, when doing an empty
selection transformation, we simply expand the selection and park the
cursor at the end of the newly-transformed text.

This feels similar to us expanding the selection when doing line
manipulations:

Selections are adjusted to match however each word expands and shrinks,
even when there are multiple:

Release Notes:

- Improved behavior of empty-selection case transformations by selecting
resulting word.
- Fixed some bugs with overflow
```
