add select-all button to Advanced Search limit controls #107

When I am on the Advanced Search page And I scroll to the Narrow Your Search section I should see an option to "select all" for the Institution list And when I click that option All checkboxes in the Institution list should get checked And if I click that option again It should unselect all checkboxes in the list

This was a request from Jean Maguire, to make it easier to filter out large providers such as BPL and UMass Amherst from searches.

UX is a little tricky here, because we don't want users to think that it is necessary to click a checkbox to get results (if no boxes are checked, there is no filter applied for that field, which is the same as ALL boxes being checked). Maybe use light-gray font, so less noticeable?
