Change Notes:

- Added helix selection sanitation code that directly mirrors the code
in the Vim
[`visual_motion`](https://github.com/AidanV/zed/blob/b6728c080c5d14ded7002d0276deb5c19d42ed8a/crates/vim/src/visual.rs#L237)
method. I kept the comments from the Vim section that explains its
purpose.
- The above change converted the problem from fixing `v e` to fixing `v
w`. Since `w` is treated differently in Helix than in Vim (i.e. `w` in
Vim goes to the first character of a word and `w` in Helix goes to the
character before a word. Commented
[here](https://github.com/AidanV/zed/blob/b6728c080c5d14ded7002d0276deb5c19d42ed8a/crates/vim/src/helix.rs#L132)),
the code treats `w` in `HelixSelect` as a motion that differs from the
Vim motion in the same way that the function
[`helix_move_cursor`](https://github.com/AidanV/zed/blob/b6728c080c5d14ded7002d0276deb5c19d42ed8a/crates/vim/src/helix.rs#L353)
separates these behaviors.
- Added a regression test

Release Notes:

- Fixes bug where `Vim::NextWordEnd` in `HelixSelect` would not select
whole word.
