Title: Allow translators to pre-select items in the "multiple" select item dialog.

This could be great for pages like PubMed, where it's much more convenient to look at a title and a short description/abstract to decide if you want the item or not. You go through the page, tick the boxes next to the items and then Zotero pre-selects them for you in the Select Items dialog.

Another use case down the road is if a translator fails to import a subset of selected items, it can pop-up the same dialog with the failed items pre-selected. Then the user can try to re-import just those items. Perhaps they only failed due to a connection timeout (e.g. recent issues with EBSCOhost)

I have a slight feeling that the implementation is a bit hackish for Dan's or Simon's liking, so I'll take suggestions on how to make it better.
