speller: ensure that a Shift-selected region is retained

For both an integrated and an external spell check, fake the Shift key
being held so that (when the cursor is moved by a changed length of a
word) a Shift-selected region is not unexpectedly cancelled.

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56365.
