further bulk select update

pac_bulk_select_cursor_info option to draw text next to the cursor when there is a bulk selection or a bulk clipboard, this is to further inform users. something right on the cursor is one of the closest non-invasive ways to inform

add a basic cvar-setting derma prompt to the bulk halo highlighting mode menu option (which was purely for information), use more concise text to describe the option

deprecate the default bulk_copy shortcut keyword in the experimental presets since it wasn't used (the actual working keyword was copy_bulkselect), but now it's usable as a fallback
