grouping from alert and bulk actions work differently

Project Member Reported by seanmccullough@chromium.org, Nov 16 2017

Issue description

This is confusing to users.

Click on "Group" in a single alert, you get a dialog box with all the alerts/groups listed and checkboxes next to each.

Click on checkboxes next to alerts and you get a "Group All" bulk action.

dpranke, via chat: 

"if I check several boxes, and then click on "group", I get a dialog that pops up showing *all* of the failures (including ones I didn't check) and asking me which ones I want?"

"I would expect that, if boxes were checked and you clicked on any "group" button, that button would just group the checked items and not ask for more."

 
Good feedback! Though it's not completely clear to me that the correct solution to this is to make any group button act the same as "Group All". 

Personally, I would prefer to either remove the per-alert group button entirely or to keep the group selection modal but automatically check any already selected alerts. 

Though I really do think bulk actions should be encouraged as the default manner for grouping, so I'm sort of leaning towards just removing per-alert group buttons. My only concern if we do that, though, is that then grouping becomes less discoverable. 
Removing per-alert grouping works for me. I think that per-alert is needed for "ungroup" (since it's really per-group in that case), but probably not "group".
