Fix #3793: stop accidental text selection after clicking a reference

Clicking a reference left AvaloniaEdit's selection-drag mode stuck, so a
subsequent mouse move (with no button held) extended a selection.

AvaloniaEdit's SelectionMouseHandler captures the pointer and enters
selection mode on press, and extends the selection on every move while that
mode is active -- it keys off the mode, not whether a button is down. Only
its bubble-phase PointerReleased handler resets the mode and releases the
capture, and that handler early-returns when the event is already handled.
The reference-click handler ran in the tunnel phase and marked the release
handled before AvaloniaEdit saw it, so AvaloniaEdit's cleanup never ran.

Move the release handler to the bubble phase so it runs after AvaloniaEdit
has reset its state. AvaloniaEdit subscribes from the TextArea constructor,
before this view attaches its handlers, so the ordering is deterministic and
navigation can stay synchronous.
