Wish: Group selection of RefDefs on Silk layers in High Contrast mode (lp:#1797083)

Original report created by Tim N. Tashpulatov (tim-tashpulatov)

When cleaning up Silk layers in High Contrast mode, it is impossible to
select a group of RefDefs other than by Shift+Clicking. Would be handy to
enable them for selecting just like PCB Text since their footprints are
greyed and obviously user wants to fiddle with text.

Attached picture shows selecting a group of RefDefs and PCB Text. Only ABC
text is being selected (not clearly seen on the shot but it is highlighted
after selection is done).
