 In r59134, validation was added to prevent users from submitting bulk
 edits if no items are selected, or if no change is chosen for the selected
 items. As part of the validation, a specific input name is expected for
 the new value. The input name cannot be customized.

 If, for example, the "Change role to..." dropdown on the
 `WP_Users_List_Table` is removed, validation for all other bulk actions
 will fail because the validation requires an input named `new_role`. I
 encountered this when replacing the default dropdown with a multi-select
 to support Core's ability for users to have multiple roles. I was able to
 work around this issue by including a hidden input with the expected name,
 but that defeats the validation.

 If the input names could be modified, the validation would support custom
 input names without requiring extra, unused hidden fields; developers
 would also not need to implement their own client-side validation.
 Currently, the input names are hardcoded in the validation JS, but they
 could be passed via localization after being filtered.
