tdf#135761 - Calc cell editing: change search preference for the word boundary

Since ImpEditEngine::StartOfWord is only used when a selection is deleted at the left, change the search preference of the word boundary from forward to backward. For further details of a deletion of a selection check ImpEditEngine::DeleteLeftOrRight.
