Consider write test for document.execCommand("selectAll"); in WebView.

Project Member Reported by ctzsm@chromium.org, Jan 13 2018 
From the  crbug.com/751435 , application developers sometimes need to implement select all functionality, however there is no such WebView api, so developers are trying to implement it in JavaScript with document.execCommand("selectAll");

Consider to write a test so we won't break this kind of usage in WebView and potentially on Chrome for Android.

It might worth to consider to provider such Java API?

We somewhat test this at FrameSelectionTest::SelectAllPreserveHandle. However we only check that the touch handles were shown and not that the action mode was shown.

We have a Java API for Select All but it is for IME. See https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/InputConnection.html#performContextMenuAction(int). I don't know much about how apps use IME but maybe this could be a solution?
