Handle mixed metadata values in bulk editing

* In bulk mode, compare Series + Writer/Penciller/Inker/Colorist across all selected files (instead of using only the first file)

* When values differ, show “(multiple values)” placeholder for that field

* Add hover tooltip with overwrite warning and a File|Value table (or Value|Count summary when there are >20 files)
