Generalize View::object_selections into map

This allows using multiple distinct state histories. By default, all
history is also cleared any time a view's selection is set, unless
explicitly told to save the state. This way, we can have control over
when selection history is saved. They are also cleared on any text
edit, since an edit could invalidate the previous selection, potentially
causing a panic.

Additionally, the object selections have been moved into `Document`
so that it is easier to manipulate them when changes to the document
happen. They have been put into a wrapper struct named `ViewData`, where
the intention is that any further fields that we want to add in the
future that must be associated with a view, but are more convenient to
store in a document, can be added here, instead of further polluting the
core `Document` type.
