[Bilka] [0.17.4] SelectionTool selection_mode "tiles" broken

Since 0.17.0 the selection_mode flag "tiles" is no longer accepted by the game, despite what the API and Wiki would suggest.

As far as I can tell the flag was removed in PR2321 but it's removal was never documented beyond that. Removing this flag breaks one of my mods as that flag was the only way, at least as far as I have been able to find, to only select an area with a selection tool (no tiles, items, or entities).

This might be a workflow issue on my part, but having some way to only mark an area has been useful. My request would be to either make selection_mode optional or reinstate the "tiles" flag (but perhaps rename it to "nothing").

The modding section on the wiki is currently about 0.16 and states this on the prototype definitions page.

I will take care of updating the lua-api page.

Please make a modding interface request for your suggestions in the last paragraphs.

The lua api doc has been updated for the next version.
