Introduce new commands to delete while preserving lines, similar to how it is done in Helix.
Before this change, running xc in helix would delete the current line and place the cursor at the new line.
After this change, xc will now clear a line but keep an empty line, where the cursor will start at.

Test Plan:
See new tests inside edit-insert

Refactor: extract delete and deletion-related commands (such as change) from the insert function into a new function named `deleteSelections`

Testing:
```
yarn test
```

TODO separate tests for deletion too
