WM: avoid unnecessary undo step creation when duplicating

Calling duplicate operation without selecting anything registers an undo
step. If nothing is selected (keyframe, curve, object, etc.), cancel the
operator execution to prevent undo push.

Patch improves following operators:

- ACTION_OT_duplicate
- GPENCIL_OT_duplicate
- GRAPH_OT_duplicate
- MESH_OT_duplicate
- NODE_OT_duplicate
- OBJECT_OT_duplicate
