Addresses an issue where the bulk select button appeared on the moblile /filter …page for users who cannot bulk select. Reported on meta [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/bulk-select-button-appears-on-mobile-even-if-you-are-not-a-mod/383361. The fix adjusts the logic for displaying the bulk select button to always require `canBulkSelect`. Follow-up fix for https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/34237
