UX makes sense and the feature works. Needs code review.
Holding the mouse button on the third click and dragging allows selecting multiple paragraphs, consistent with how double-click + drag selects multiple words.
On a sidenote this doesn't work with selecting multiple words for me, but it also doesn't work in 4.6 so it seems to be unrelated to this PR.

Closes godotengine/godot-proposals#14046
Implements triple-click to select an entire paragraph in RichTextLabel, matching the standard behavior found in web browsers and most native text controls.
Previously, triple-clicking would reset the selection. Now, the third click selects the full paragraph the cursor is on. Holding the mouse button on the third click and dragging allows selecting multiple paragraphs, consistent with how double-click + drag selects multiple words.
