Micro doesn't support chained actions for command mode keybindings yet, it only supports them for regular buffer keybindings. Whereas Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v are bound by default to the chained actions Copy|CopyLine and Cut|CutLine in both buffer mode and command mode, so in command mode Ctrl-c and Ctrl-v don't work at all (with default keybindings).

Luckily CopyLine and CutLine would not be not very useful in command mode anyway. So fix the issue by changing the default keybindings in command mode to the simple non-chained actions Copy and Cut.

Fixes #3972
Fixes #3784
