Fix handling of multiple and rectangular selections in wxSTC.

Copy and paste rectangular selections in the standard format, this is
especially important under Windows where a (de facto) standard clipboard
format for such selections exists.

Also fix handling of multipaste, i.e. pasting clipboard contents into several
locations at once.

Closes #16221.
