Select screen area to record

[jsattler]

At the moment BetterCapture only allows sharing single windows, all windows of an application, or the entire screen. A common use case is to share a user selected area on the screen. ScreenCaptureKit provides APIs to achieve this. Here is a rough plan:

• Draft a rough design
• Implement + test the draft
• Finalize implementation

Longtime QuickRecorder user here - I'd love the ability to draw a box around a section of the screen and record it.

Planning to use a button with a drop down to select the mode. Either content picker or area selection.
