This reverts commit e21b284. It makes no sense to add a flag which does nothing just so scripts can call it. If Caja, Thunar, Dolphin and Nautilus committed to some standard, interface or common specification, we'd commit as well but in the meantime we're not going to have empty features or flags in here just because they do. This is adding unnecessary complexity into Nemo just to save the trouble of some if() statement in some external script. It's not justified.

Some scripts rely on the
--selectflag to highlight files in file managers. Whilecaja,dolphin, andnautilussupport this flag,nemocurrently does not.This simple PR adds support for the
--selectflag innemo. Althoughnemoalready supports selecting files by default, passing--selectcurrently triggers an argument parser error.With this change,
--selectwill be accepted bynemowithout errors, improving compatibility with scripts expecting this flag.
