Selection service: compositor-wide primary selection for TASK-18

Browse source 
Verified on blueline that Hyprland advertises primary-selection plus both
data-control managers, so wl-paste --primary --watch sees every selection with
no per-app hooks. Settles TASK-18's selection-detection question as
compositor-level; viewtop is not needed.

The protocol gives no selection rectangle, so anchor is the pointer position at
selection time. Opt-in by default: the watcher observes every highlight on the
device, including passwords, so it is killed while locked and selection text is
never persisted, logged, or trailed.

// enabled, the shell watches the compositor's primary selection,
// which means it observes EVERY piece of text the user highlights
// anywhere on the device — including a password highlighted inside
// a password manager. No tier in SESSION-AUTHORITY-DOCTRINE §2
// covers an ambient capability of that reach, so the user turns it
// on knowingly or it does not run. Selection.qml additionally kills
// its watcher whenever the session is locked and never persists or
// logs selection content.
