Unstable - Confusing '1 resource selected' text when having selected a folder with resources

[pcenov]

Observed behavior

When I select a folder with resources, in the main table I see the following text: '1 folder, N resources' which is mostly correct as clicking the 'Move', 'Copy' and 'Delete' icons will result in the change being applied to the folder and all of the resources within the folder. But if I go ahead and select one of the new editing icons such as 'Edit categories' then I see the incorrect text 1 resource selected under the title of the modal. The text is incorrect because it says 'resource' while I have selected a folder with resources. So it seems that changing it to 'N folders, N resources selected' will be a step in the right direction, however when we have nested folders with resources the text can become something like '4 folders, 15 resources' which will still be confusing. The same is valid if I've selected several folder and resources in which case currently the text is just N resources selected

Expected behavior

To be further discussed.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Go to https://unstable.studio.learningequality.org/en/accounts/#/ and sign in
2. Open a channel with folders and all of the supported resources
3. Click the checkbox of a folder with resources and observe the '1 folder, N resources' text above the table
4. Click the 'Edit categories' icon and observe the text '1 resource selected' in the modal

I think we've decided to go with a quick fix for this issue, which is to make sure that the selection text in the bulk edit modal is updated to match the selection text in the main Studio UI.

So if I've selected a folder which contains 2 resources, I should see "1 folder, 2 resources" in both locations.

For future releases, there are other ideas that we're exploring on improving the clarity of that selection statement in the Slack discussion here
