File actions menu: Allow user to apply action on multiple files at once #179

Describe why it is important and where it will be useful

Currently one can apply a file menu action only for one single file. It would be useful for the user to select multiple files and apply the file menu action on all at once.

Describe your proposed solution

To not change the protocol, trigger the configured action handler for each file in parallel.

If additions to the protocol are considered, add something like an optional multiselectActionHandler to the registration of a File Actions Menu, which is used when multiple files are selected and which receives a list of files at once. This would allow for advanced use cases like merging multiple files.

Describe alternatives you've considered, if relevant
