Subject: [PATCH] widgets, actions: Allow multi-select in Document History

This patch enables multiple selections in
the GimpDocumentView widget and dockable.
It also updates the "documents-open" and
"documents-remove" actions to check if the
GimpContainerView has more than
one selection, and if so, tries to load/remove
all of those images. The action wording is
slightly edited to indicate multiple
images can now be opened/removed.
