## What Changed
- compute range-format support from formatter configuration and
language-server capabilities
- show `Format Selections` only when at least one selected buffer has a
range-capable formatter
- keep Prettier-supported range formatting available without depending
on LSP support
- hide the action for formatter modes that cannot honor selections, such
as external-command and code-action formatters
- keep the action handler safe by rechecking support and returning early
when range formatting is unavailable
- restrict capability checks to the servers actually registered for the
current buffer
- add regression coverage for supported, unsupported, and mixed-server
cases
- document when `Format Selections` is available in both action docs and
user docs

Closes#25796
Release Notes:
- Improved `Format Selections` so it is only shown when the active
formatter supports range formatting.
Testing I did:
Here are the formatters I used:

/>
Note: I've chosen three formatters:
1. Prettier, which supports range formatting
2. clangd (LSP) which also supports range formatting
3. gopls which do not support range formatting
