#65160: Misleading error message on user screen actions, if no role has been
selected

 similar to #64659, when on `users.php` no bulk action and also no role was
 selected, and the 'Change' button gets pressed, an error maessage appears
 claiming "Please select a bulk action to perform.". It's misleading
 because the underlying issue is that no user has been selected. Even when
 you select a bulk action like "Send password reset", the same error
 message will appear, which totally makes no sense.
