Description

### Description (*)
When updating attributes for multiple products in the admin, I expect to be able to change whether or not the products have a weight.

### Expected behavior (*)
On the "Update Attributes" form in the admin (admin/catalog/product_action_attribute/edit)

A "Has Weight" checkbox should be shown around the area in the screenshot. When changed and the form saved, it updates whether or not the products being edited have weight or not (simple v virtual)

### Benefits
Mass assignment of whether products are virtual or simple

Research direction

Start at the admin/catalog/product_action_attribute/edit entry point and inspect the Update Attributes form and its save path. Confirm how selected products store the weight or virtual status, then add the Has Weight control so saving updates that state for all selected products. Done means the control appears on the form and mass updates produce the requested product behavior.
