RNA: Object.select_set use boolean, only select

- Was setting active state, making it necessary to backup/restore
  active object in cases where this isn't needed.
  Existing scripts are explicitly setting the active object when needed.

- Use a boolean select arg (toggle selection wasn't used anywhere).

- Add an optional view layer argument since scripts should be able to
  operate outside the user context.
