FB16677264: SwiftUI .textSelection(.enabled) should work across multiple Text views

Description

For example, this only lets me select Hello and World individually, but not in one selection.

VStack {
	Text("Hello")
		.textSelection(.enabled)
	Text(" ")
	Text("World")
		.textSelection(.enabled)
}

This makes it really hard to have complex views where only some parts can be selected.

I’m aware I could use + on the Text views to combine them, but the above is just a very minimal example. It would not work in my real-world code.
