Add action to report length of selected item(s)

It would be nice to have an action that states the length of selected item(s).

Second this. Especially when looping etc

I wonder whether we could factor length into reporting selected items, like how we do with reporting time selection? Shift+F2, tab twice gets that info pretty quickly in the meantime. If three keystrokes is two too many, here's a script from our boy @castlestarter: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ro94wxmffqjuul/Speak%20Selected%20Items%20Length.lua?dl=1

A limitation of my script is that it uses the project time base from the start of the project so if the project includes tempo changes then it gives incorrect results. I don't usually have projects with tempo changes in so it doesn't cause me a problem but others may use them more often.
