Subject: Alt-J joins lines and selects the spaces it put in

helix-golf's text_into_array turns lines into an array with %<A-s>ms"<A-J>i,:
join_selections_space joins like J and leaves one cursor on each space it
inserted. J and Alt-J now make one edit over every range, as helix does,
rather than J being replayed per range; that is what lets Alt-J hand back
all the spaces as the new selection.
