Read the number of selected messages to VoiceOver

The count was only on the forward button at the bottom, so VoiceOver users had to go and find it after every tap. While selecting, each selectable message now starts its label with "N messages selected". The label changes on every toggle, so VoiceOver reads the new count followed by the message, as in other messaging apps.
