Selection of items in item list #107

Tapping an item on the item list view currently pushes the item detail view for that item. There should be an alternative mode for the item list where tapping an item does not push the detail view, but selects the item. This way a user would be able to select multiple items and perform actions for them. These actions could be "Email bibliography", "Add to favorites", "Add to collection", etc. The user should be able to perform changes in the item list (e.g. search, switch collections and libraries) and maintain the selection.

One way to implement would be to add a button in the navigation bar that switched the item detail view to selection mode that would add the action button and change the behavior of the UITableView.

This issue is for the user interface only and should implement a dummy action that would only log the selected items' keys to the console. The different actions would be implemented as separate issues.

This addresses (partly) the following feature request: https://zotpad.uservoice.com/forums/172475-general/suggestions/3696855-allow-for-emailing-a-list-of-citations
