Text selection for new/existing tiddlers is backwards

Description

When creating a new tiddler, the default text (e.g. "Type the text for 'New Tiddler'") isn't selected when entering the tiddler content window, which adds a number of keystrokes to the process of creating a new tiddler. By default, this text should be selected for overwriting when tabbing into the edit window.

On the other hand, this is totally the opposite for existing tiddlers. If you try to edit an existing tiddler, the entire contents of the edit box are selected on entry, making it entirely too easy to wipe out an entire tiddler when attempting minor updates.

This behavior really should be swapped around, so that editing existing tiddlers defaults to appending, while new tiddlers default to overwriting.
