Add bulk delete, bulk archive/unarchive, and bulk metadata edit buttons in books table page #3113

This PR adds the following:

Bulk deleting
Bulk archive/unarchive
Bulk metadata editing. This is related to #1558
Fixed change_archived_books() so that when state=false and an unarchived book is passed, it won't archive it.
Fixed edit_book_read_status() so that when state=false and an unread book is passed, it won't mark it as read
Added ability to select multiple books at once via shift-click. Works similar to File Explorer shift clicking to select multiple files.

Screenshots below show the workflow for deleting for end-users, but is the same as for archive/unarching in bulk. Read comments below for more screenshots:

Select books

Delete books

Book list after deletion

I prefer to have the buttons for mass delete/unarchive in the top of the table, similar to the ones in the user edit table (.../admin/usertable):

Looks like this now. It looks off; is this style good? I'm also thinking of adding bulk read status buttons too in this PR

jmarmstrong1207 commented 3 months ago

Okay, got it to work. Had to use $(document).on('click', '#id', function....) instead of $('#id').click() for the buttons because adding the buttons within the table header makes them dynamically-added elements.

Also added the bulk read/unread buttons. I have tested it to work, but of course testing yourself would be best

Alright, final feature for this PR. I added bulk metadata editing. No more additional features will be added from now on as I've done what I intended to do!

Let me know if I am missing anything. Fleshed out basically everything I can think of myself
