Description

### What problem does this address?

I'm new to Pocket Cast, and wanted to archive episodes from my regular playlists that I'd already listened to. This was hundreds of episodes in some cases.

I couldn't easily find a "select all below" option. I was literally in the middle of looking through the source when I discovered the existing "select all below" option.

A long-press -> long-press gesture seems very un-intuitive to me, as a long time Android user,.

### What is your proposed solution?

Add the "select all below" and "select all above" to the normal overflow menu that's available when long-pressing any item

### Did you search for existing feature suggestions?

Research direction

Start at the regular overflow menu shown when long-pressing a playlist item, and trace the existing "select all below" action discovered in the issue. Check how the menu exposes selection actions, then add both "select all above" and "select all below" there and verify that each action selects the expected episodes.
