Title: Added 'getSelected' method 

I have added the handsontable('getSelected') method, which returns the coordinates of the cells which are currently selected (upper left corner and bottom right corner). This function returns an array: [row1,col1,row2,col2].

If you decide to add this functionality to the handsontable core, I hope that this will save you some time. Cheers!
