Sectors/Linedefs modes: removed "Select Things in Selected Sectors" action.

Sectors mode: removed "Move Things in Selected Sectors" toolbar button.
Sectors mode: added "Synchronized Things Editing" menu item, action and toolbar button. When enabled, things dragging will be synchronized to sector dragging. Regular, Paint and Rectangular selection will also select things (holding Alt while selecting inverts this behavior). Deleting sectors will also delete selected things.
Linedefs mode: added "Synchronized Things Editing" menu item, action and toolbar button. When enabled, selected things will be dragged when dragging linedefs. Rectangular selection will also select things (holding Alt while selecting inverts this behavior).
Changed: selection info now always displays info about all types of map elements.
Fixed: .dbs containing only current map settings was created when trying to save unchanged map. 
Fixed, Visual mode, "Copy Texture" action: when "Use long texture names" option is disabled, texture name as stored in Sidedef should be used, not the 8-char texture name.
Updated documentation.
