Description

If you set the update action to "Do Nothing", it appears that bulk updates dont actually do anything.

Maybe its worth displaying some kind of message saying that "x" aliases were skipped due to a setting?

I only ask because I just spent half an hour trying to debug the module expecting a bug - turned out I'd just configured it wrong. :)

Cheers for a great module :)

Title:Bulk Update + "Do Nothing" update action = 0 aliases made» Bulk Update + "Do Nothing" + Verbose -> give a message

As long as they have Verbose on this idea seems reasonable to me.

Bumping version - given that we're in a string freeze for 5.x-2.x and 6.x-1.x and given that this is a feature it should just be in 6.x-2.x-dev.

The other question is that apparently "Do nothing" used to actually mean "Do nothing unless it has no alias and in that case do something"

So...I guess we should bring that back since a lot of people liked it.
