Unify behavior of delete/cut to line boundary actions (#59627)

I noticed that our line deletion actions are inconsistent.

For `DeleteToBeginningOfLine`:

- `one «two threeˇ» four` -> ` four` ✅
- `one «ˇtwo three» four` -> ` four` ✅

Great, these have the same results, regardless of selection direction.

For `DeleteToEndOfLine`:

- `one «two threeˇ» four` -> ` one ` ✅
- `one «ˇtwo three» four` -> `one two three` ❌

Whoops, that second one should be the same, assuming that selection
direction again shouldn't matter, as in the case of
`DeleteToBeginningOfLine`.

The same issue exists for `CutToEndOfLine`:

- `The quick «brownˇ» fox` -> `The quick ` ✅
- `The quick «ˇbrown» fox` -> `The quick brown` ❌

I unified the end-of-line actions to match `DeleteToBeginningOfLine`:
selection direction no longer matters, so the whole selection is always
included.
