Correct other end visual block functionality (#27678)

Closes #27385

Builds on #27604 so that `vim::OtherEnd` works in visual block mode.
This is accomplished by reversing the order of active selections in the
buffer when the user hit `o`, so that the cursor moves diagonally across
the selection. The current behavior is preserved for `shift-o`, which is
how the cursors behave in vim.

We'll close #27604 since this encapsulates that change, but if you'd
prefer to take only the visual block motion component, we'll keep the
branch for #27604 open.

Test case: growing a box down and to the right, other ending, followed
by growing and shrinking the box:

Release Notes:
- Improved visual block mode when cursor is at beginning of selection
- Improved visual block mode so that `o` and `shift-o` reach parity with
vim
