Improve performance of select-all-matches (#6700)

This fixes #6440.

The previous approach was calling select-next-match in a loop, which
leaves optimizations on the table when you already know that you want to
select all of the matches.

So what we did here is to optimize the code for the "give me all
matches" case:

1. Find all results in the current buffer
2. Build up *all* selections
3. Sort selections & throw away overlapping ones (keep oldest)
4. Unfold if necessary
5. Render selections

On my M3 Max searching for `<span` in the test file [1] from the ticket,
it

previously took: ~1.07s
now takes: ~4ms
