Add a setter for the format property on RangeSelection

[HyperVS]

This pull request introduces a setter method for the format property within the RangeSelection class. This enhancement aims to simplify the process of updating the format for range selections within the API.

Changes Made:

• Added a setFormat() method to the RangeSelection class.

This method allows developers to modify the format of the range selection in a more intuitive manner, eliminating the need to directly manipulate the format property.

Benefits

Improves code readability and maintainability by providing a clear and consistent interface for modifying the format property.
Reduces the likelihood of errors and misuse by encapsulating the logic for setting format values within a dedicated method.

Where's the code that calls this setter?

[HyperVS]

This addition is more of an api enhancement (exactly like setStyle on the same RangeSelection class). Whilst internal lexical code can use this setter, it is much easier to just use this.format directly within the class.

However, this addition provides a safe way for developers to update the format property without unexpected side-effects, namely from forgetting to set the dirty flag to true after directly manipulating the format property.
