gh-95511: IDLE - fix Shell context menu copy-with-prompts bug (GH-95512)

If one selects whole lines, as the sidebar makes easy, do not
add an extra line.  Only move the end of a selection to the
beginning of the next line when not already at the beginning
of a line.  (Also improve the surrounding code.)
(cherry picked from commit fc31a13)

 gh-95471: Tweak Edit menu. Move 'Select All' above 'Cut' as it is used
 with 'Cut' and 'Copy' but not 'Paste'.  Add a separator between 'Replace'
 and 'Go to Line' to help IDLE issue triagers.
