Make Kapture screenshot-first with marquee text selection

The result window now works like a screenshot tool: drag on the image to
select a region, then click Get Selection Text to OCR only that area
(full-image OCR stays as Get All Text). Selection is rendered in image
coordinates so it stays accurate at any window size.
