Only Detonate ACU if it was the only object selected

Play long enough and you will accidentally ctrl+k your ACU. Trying to keep an experimental from vetting, clearing a path for your ACU to run through, or just doing building cleanup (t1 pgens, etc), whatever. I'll be the first to admit I've done it at least 3 times.

Call me an idiot, fine. In the heat of the moment I didn't double check my ACU wasn't selected because I wasted 30 seconds trying not to select him and had no time left to check before the GC showed up.

I think it's safe to say that if you select anything less than everything, you don't intend to ctrl+k your ACU. Thus, I suggest only detonating the ACU if:
- It is the only thing selected.
- Everything is selected.

Since the latter condition is probably harder to fulfill, I think only the former would suffice.

Thanks!

What if you heroically tried to save a teammate from mercies?
