Select text inserted by shell or paste (#4458)

This follows changes in Kakoune to the same effects:

* p/<space>p: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/commit/266d1c37d0d970a7eff747f5e6a5773a3cea39d8
* !/<A-!>: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/commit/85b78dda2e29d70b620836b04224b104426bdbae

Selecting the new data inserted by shell or pasting is often more
useful than retaining a selection of the pre-paste/insert content.
