Move selection, focus and drop-zone info out of the view

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The Gtk View is restricted in that it supports selected and focused items. These are properties defined by the tools we use. A Selection Tool exposes the behavior of actually selecting something

Describe the solution you'd like

Separate selection from the View class. This information should remain accessible in some way, though.

There's still a Selection object attached to the View. This data can be separated and is usable from other places that do not need a full view reference.
