Request: Add text selection and copy feature to MuPDF #36

Hi! I love MuPDF on Android - it's super fast and lightweight, perfect for quick PDF viewing. But I really miss the ability to select and copy text from PDFs.

The problem:
Long press or double-tap doesn't highlight text, so I can't copy it to clipboard. This makes it hard to use for notes or sharing quotes. It works in other apps like Librera, but I'd prefer to stick with MuPDF for its speed.

What I suggest:
Add simple text selection (drag to highlight).
Copy button or auto-copy to clipboard.
Maybe a "Select text" mode in menu.
This would make it much more useful without adding bloat. Thanks for considering! 😊
