I enhanced the docstring, renamed to `dired-mark-region',
and pushed to master.

The default behavior was unchanged since it's consistent with
marking without region. But this is not my personal preference.
I have dozens of customized options in my init file, even for features
that I implemented, my customization still differs from default values
that make sense for most users.  The default value of the new option
`dired-mark-region' could be changed too in case more people
will demand this.
