editor: Preserve the selection granularity when extending a selection (#39759)
Currently when extending a selection using shift-click, the selection
granularity (or `SelectMode`) is based on the click count when extending
the selection, not on the click count of the initial selection. For
example, selecting a word with double-click followed by shift-click uses
a character granularity:

This PR changes this behavior to be more in line with other editors that
I'm familiar with by preserving the granularity of the initial selection
(unless the extension has a higher click count, i.e. the behavior of a
single click selection by a shift-double-click extension is unchanged):

Release Notes:
- Extending a selection using shift-click now preserves the
character/word/line granularity of the initial selection
