[needs-docs] Allow adding and remove nodes from node tool selection

Holding shift while clicking and dragging adds nodes to selection,
holding ctrl removes nodes from selection.

Additionally, this commit:
- fixes the current 'select node but don't start moving' shortcut,
but changes it from ctrl-click on a node to shift-click on a node
(since it's 'adding' to the selection)
- makes ctrl-click on a single node remove just that node from
the selection

Fixes #17259
