Bulk actions for mute/disable/delete rules

This is part of ResponseOps work on rule table. Actionable Observability gets it for free by integrating the shareable component.

@mgiota I think this is something we could postpone a bit to wait for the EUI solution on bulk actions. elastic/eui#4010

@katrin-freihofner This issue elastic/eui#4010 has been inactive for quite a long time. I suggest we move forward implementing it on our side. Do you agree?

I took a recording of how Stack Management > Rules and Connectors Bulk actions work at the moment:

Screen.Recording.2022-04-21.at.15.35.53.mov

What do we want to implement as part of current Bulk actions ticket?

• Manage rules button in the beginning of my recording
• three dots in the Actions column
• or both

Once we clarify above questions, I will talk with ResponseOps team to check if it is in their timeline to give us a shareable component, otherwise I will proceed with the implementation on our side. @XavierM I remember you mentioned that Bulk actions is in your team's todo list. cc @gmmorris

The bulk actions should enable users to:

• enable/disable selected rules
• delete selected rules
• snooze selected rules

I would rather go with a solution like this one because

• it clearly indicates how many items are selected (and if all are selected or just the ones on this page)
• the bulk action button "Selected X alerts" is closely connected to the items compared to a generic "Manage rules" button.
  

I'm proposing to change the language on the button to "X rules selected". I'm also not sure why we need to state the total number of items twice. I recommend removing the first one (that's not a button).
