screenshot: Promisify SelectArea

The screenshot code has a fair bit of nested callbacks, which means
that it is a good use case for async functions and Promises.

Most code uses GIO's async pattern, which means it can be easily turned
into promises with Gio._promisify(); first handle the couple of cases
that need custom code though, starting with SelectArea.
