Ivan Batsulin 29a1e8dfda feat: multi-warship selection with Shift+drag box (#3677)
Resolves #3666

## Description:

Adds RTS-style box selection for warships. Hold Shift and drag (desktop)
or long-press and drag (touch/mobile) to draw a selection rectangle —
all player-owned warships inside get selected at once. A subsequent
click/tap on water sends them all to that location.

- `SelectionBoxLayer` — pixel-dashed rectangle in world-space, player
territory color; shared between desktop and touch
- `UILayer` — same pulsing selection outline on each box-selected
warship; clears correctly when switching between single/multi selection
- `UnitLayer` — finds warships in screen rect, filters inactive ships
before sending; touch support included
- `InputHandler` — Shift+drag and touch long-press+drag both emit
selection box events; cursor becomes crosshair on Shift; discards active
ghost structure on Shift press; configurable via `shiftKey` keybind
- `Transport` — single atomic `move_multiple_warships` intent (no split
on socket drop)
- `Schemas` + `ExecutionManager` + `MoveMultipleWarshipsExecution` —
server fans out atomic intent into individual `MoveWarshipExecution` per
ship
- `DynamicUILayer` — `MoveIndicatorUI` chevron animation on target tile
for both single and multi move
- `UnitDisplay` — warship tooltip Shift hint via `translateText`
- `HelpModal` — new hotkey row: Shift + drag → select multiple warships
