7d2bae63b9 Map undo selection change to <a-u>/<a-U>
Change the initial <c-h>/<c-k> bindings to the recently freed-up
<a-u></a-U>.

Pros:
- easier to remember
- the redo binding is logical.
- works on legacy terminals, unlike <c-h>

Cons:
- It's less convenient to toggle between selection undo and redo
  keys. I think this is okay since this scenario does not happen that
  often in practice.

8427379a5d Tweak selection-undo interaction with WinDisplay hooks
Each selection undo operation is surrounded by pair of
begin_edition()/end_edition() calls.
The original reason for adding these was that in one of my preliminary
versions, a WinDisplay hook could break an undo chain, even if the
hook did not affect selections at all. This has since been fixed.

By surrounding the undo with begin_edition()/end_edition(), try to
ensure that any selection modification that happens in a WinDisplay
hook would not break the undo chain. Essentially this means that,
after using <c-h> to undo a buffer change, this was meant to
make sure that <c-k> could redo that buffer change.

However, it turns out this actually doesn't work.  The attached test
case triggers an assertion.  As described in the first paragraph,
the only real-world motivation for this is gone, so let's simplify
the behavior.
The assertion fix means that we can test the next commit better.
