Samuel Arbibe 888a50c3be feat: batch updating (#16384)
#16383 

## Scope & Context
**Context**:
Added a **Bulk Update** feature to allow users to modify multiple
records simultaneously. This addresses the need for efficient data
management when dealing with large datasets.

**Scope**:
Enabling a "Bulk Update" flow that can be triggered for a filtered list
of records (e.g., current view). The feature guides the user through
selecting fields to modify, inputting new values, and executing the
update with real-time progress feedback.

## Current behavior
Currently, users must open and update records one by one.
To change the "Status" of 10 different opportunities, the user has to
navigate to each record detail page or use the inline cell editor 10
separate times. This is repetitive and time-consuming.

## Expected behavior
Users can trigger "Update Records" from the command menu or action bar.
1. **Choose Fields**: A step where users select which properties they
want to modify (e.g., check "Status" and "Assignee").
2. **Input Values**: Users provide the new values for the selected
fields.
3. **Execution**: Upon confirmation, the system updates all matching
records in the background.
4. **Feedback**: A progress indicator shows the number of processed
records, and a toast notification confirms completion.

*Key interactions:*
- Users can clear a field's value (set to null) by selecting the field
but leaving the input empty.
- The operation supports cancelling midway.

## Technical inputs
**Core Functionality**:
- **Incremental Batch Processing**: Updates are performed in small
batches (using `useIncrementalUpdateManyRecords` to handle large
datasets without timing out or freezing the UI.
- **Global Feedback**: Integrated with the Snackbar system to notify
users of success or errors across the application.

Does the world need another CRM?

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in Open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
