## Message

```
editor: Add rotation commands for selections and lines (#41236)

Introduces RotateSelectionsForward and RotateSelectionsBackward actions
that rotate content in a circular fashion across multiple cursors.

Behavior based on context:
- With selections: rotates the selected text at each cursor position
(e.g., x=1, y=2, z=3 becomes x=3, y=1, z=2)
- With just cursors: rotates entire lines at cursor positions (e.g.,
three lines cycle to line3, line1, line2)

Selections are preserved after rotation, allowing repeated cycling.
Useful for quickly rearranging values, lines, or arguments.

For more examples and use cases, please refer to #5315.

I'm eager to read your thoughts and make any adjustments or improvements
to any aspect of this change.

Closes #5315

Release Notes:

- Added `RotateSelectionsForward` and `RotateSelectionsBackward` actions
that rotate content in a circular fashion across multiple cursors
```
