[RFC] normalize kill-region in calc

[RFC] normalize kill-region in calc

Right now, calc binds M-w to a special version of copy-region-as-kill
than copies the entire calc value (along with the calc stack prefix)
instead of just the highlighted region. This behavior is inconsistent
with other modes. Can we apply something like this patch? I'll fix the
documentation if we apply it.

Calc has a maintainer (please see admin/MAINTAINERS).

It seems like a reasonable thing to do.  My only concern, with keybindings
that have been around so long, is that some may be used to M-w operating on
whole lines in Calc.  But if nobody objects, the change looks fine.
