AppKit: Apply font changes without a selection to CPTextView typing attributes

When no text was selected, CPTextView's changeFont: implementation
erroneously extracted the font to convert from the text storage at the
insertion point rather than from current typing attributes. Consequently,
repeated adjustments like Bigger or Smaller failed to accumulate, blank
document font sizing remained locked after one step, and output arguments
risked overwriting selection state.

* AppKit/CPTextView/CPTextView.j:
  - Update changeFont: to derive and convert fonts directly from typing
    attributes when no selection is active, and post corresponding typing
    attribute update notifications.
  - Eliminate selection range output arguments that could inadvertently
    modify active selection bounds.

* Tests/AppKit/CPTextViewTest.j:
  - Add unit tests verifying that repeated font modifications accumulate correctly
    at zero-length insertion points.

* Tests/Manual/TextEditor/WORKLIST.md:
  - Mark Bigger and Smaller actions without a selection as tested.

Bigger and Smaller menu commands now correctly compound font size adjustments for subsequent typed text, matching Cocoa behavior.

- Edit > Copy, Cut and Paste from the menu: plain text moves to and from other applications through the system clipboard; text copied and pasted within the application keeps its style. Command-V pastes text copied in another application, not an earlier copy within the application.
- Edit > Insert Image…: a JPEG or PNG image is inserted inside the text and at the end of the text.
- A wide image fits the text width, and scales with the window without growing beyond its natural size. At the end of the text it is not clipped, and the scroll bars follow it.
- Format > Font > Bigger and Smaller (Command-+ and Command--) without a selection change the size of the text typed next, step by step, also in a blank document.
- Builds with both the legacy toolchain and capp-build.
