UI changes:

- Moved the cell toolbar selector into the *View* menu. Added a button that triggers a "hint" animation to the main toolbar so users can find the new location.

- Added *Restart & Run All* to the *Kernel* menu. Users can also bind it to a keyboard shortcut on action ``restart-kernel-and-run-all-cells``.
- Added multiple-cell selection. Users press ``Shift-Up/Down`` or ``Shift-K/J`` to extend selection in command mode. Various actions such as cut/copy/paste, execute, cell type conversion, and so on now operate on all selected cells.
