Let's probably start with preserving whitespaces, but at least move forward with the line wraps? WDYT? |

…microsoft#8579) There are two issue with copy to clipboard when block is selected: * We don't add new lines for lines that were wrapped * We remove trailing whitespaces which is not intuitive in block selection. Fixed the copy logic to always add newlines and not to remove whitespaces when block is selected. Even if shift is pressed! ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments * Added optional parameter to `TextBuffer::GetText` that allows to apply formatting (includeCRLF / trimming) to lines that were wrapped * Changed `Terminal::RetrieveSelectedTextFromBuffer` to apply the following parameters when block is selected: * includeCRLF = true * trimTrailingWhitespaces = false * apply the formatting above to all rows, including the ones that were wrapped ## Validation Steps Performed * Manual tests for both block and standard selection * Copy with both right-click and command * Added UT Closes microsoft#6740
