📄 Description

Brief summary

Adds a new endpoint that allows bulk downloading multiple library items and adds it to the frontend.

Which issue is fixed?

None directly, I think. But it comes close to #3541 and I believe this is the better approach instead of implementing an endpoint for Collections, Series, Authors, Playlists, etc.

In-depth Description

It fetches all the library items and their paths, puts them into one zip file.

Structure is like

ZIP
-- file.mp3
-- Book Folder Name/
---- file.mp3
---- file.epub

We are limited by GET to download the file as it has a 2000 character limit on most browsers. Since we can't send any request body, we have a limit of 40 IDs we can send to safely prevent any errors. Therefore, the download button is only shown for up to 40 books. But in theory, it would work with more.

How have you tested this?

Using my own library. Files in root directory, but also in non-root directories.

Screenshots

I don't have any with public domain works, but just imagine a download button under the three-dot menu when selecting multiple books in the library view.
