Fix #3030: Selection for DataTable cleared with custom action settings

[Francisc0C]

This PR fixes issue #3030 and two analogous bugs in derivedPropsHelper.ts.

In derivedPropsHelper.ts, selected rows may be invalidated when sorting, filtering or changing pages, while using custom action settings.

Invalidation happens when sorting, filtering or pagination actions are set to custom and their values change.
The code does not check whether the same callback also provides a new selected_rows value.

Because invalidation runs inside a setTimeout(..., 0), when a callback updates both selection and sorting, filtering or pagination, the selection briefly appears and clears, causing a visible "flicker".

The fix adds a check before invalidating the selection. We verify whether selected_rows actually changed in the current callback, if it did not change, the selection is preserved preventing incorrect invalidation.

Thanks for the PR! Our team will take a look and follow up. At first glance, I see the Dash Table tests are failing. Could you take a look and see if there are any updates that need to be made?

[Francisc0C]

Hi! The only Dash Table test that was failing is the same one that was already failing in the project version from a few weeks ago when I created the PR (commit ffff73d).

I’ve now rebased onto the current dev branch, so hopefully the tests should no longer fail.

Apologies for the multiple force pushes, I accidentally rebased my commit onto master instead of dev.

Could you rebase your branch onto the latest dev and push again?

Right now, when I build your PR as-is, I see the same errors that shows up in GitHub CI. However, if I apply your changes on top of the current dev branch locally, the build works and all the DataTable tests pass.

Thanks @Francisc0C It looks like that worked!

@T4rk1n this is now ready for a review.

Also needs a changelog entry.
