Description Eugene Kuleshov

Please allow group operations on the selected tasks in the task view (and probably in the task planner s well):

-- Delete
-- Mark completed
-- Change priority
-- Actions contributed by 3rd party repository providers (e.g. "Assign to...")

Note that mark complete/incomplete already works for multiple selections.  So does delete.

But what we still need to do is make task actions be object contributions, so that they show up anywhere and hence pick up 3rd party things.  This would ensure that something like the planner picks up all of the actions, and that each can inidcate whether the work for one or more selections

We should also update enablement along with this, e.g. disable
  - query hit: delete if no corresponding task
  - query hit: remove from category

The annoying thing about this is that object contributions can not appear dynamnically, so our menu will get a lot longer.  However, if we make New.. a sub-menu that may be OK.

This has been done over the past few releases for the actions that we don't want to appear automatically on every ITask, and that we want to control the visibility of, not just the enablement of (i.e. the top of the menu in the Task List).
