idea #351: Keep geometry selected after deletion

Examples:
1) If you select a few edges (only some of them form a polygon) and then do "Delete->faces" the selection is lost - it would be nice to still have the rest of the (not deleted) geometry selected.

2) you have a group of faces selected in edge- or vertex-select mode and delete them you need to select the resulting edge-loop afterwards to use it ... sometimes this can be very helpful if it would be automatically be selected. De-selecting is quite easy in contrast :)

3) You have an edge (or a whole edge-ring) selected in vertex mode and do "Delete->Edge". Afterwards it would be nice if the two vertices are still selected.

The exact behaviour would depend on the current select-mode, so in pure face-select mode it would not be possible to remain any selection.

* Face-select mode: nothing special
* Edge-select mode: If faces are deleted keep the rest of the selected edges or "bordering" edges selected.
* Vertex-select mode: If faces or edges are deleted keep the rest of the selected vertices or "bordering" vertices selected.

Combined select-modes would also combine the above behaviour (i.e. any extras selection is kept intact)
