Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe it

I want to delete multiple subscriptions at once or delete them all at once.

Describe the solution you'd like

Maybe add some checkboxes to the subscriptions page with an option to select all and delete them?

How will you/everyone benefit from this feature?

I recently sorted out a lot of channels I don't follow anymore and I don't want to edit them in two places so I thought I could just delete them in the app and reimport but there is currently no function to do so.

Research direction
Investigate the subscription management UI in the 'app/src/main/java/org/schabi/newpipe/local/subscription/' directory. The feature requires adding a selection mode to the subscriptions list, similar to other Android apps. Look at existing list adapters and database operations for batch deletion. Consider using a bottom sheet or action bar for delete option. Check comments on issue #3301 for any additional context.
