Currently, on the 'Batch item deletion', 'Batch item modification', and 'Batch
record deletion' tools if a record cannot be modified/deleted it is displayed
in the table of records with a disabled (greyed-out) checkbox.

To replicate:
1. Check out an item
2. Go to Tools > Batch item deletion
3. Enter the barcode of the checked-out item and submit
4. Observe the item is displayed in a table with a disabled checkbox
5. Select 'Delete selected items'
6. Notice the checked-out item is not deleted 

When libraries are modifying/deleting large numbers of records it's easy for
them to miss the disabled checkboxes when scrolling through the table. The
consequence of this is then wondering why some records have not been
modified/deleted.

It would be useful to more clearly highlight records that cannot be
modified/deleted for these tools.

Proposed solution:
- Replace the disabled checkbox with a red cross (like those displayed beside
items on hold pages when you're not allowed to place item-level holds).

- Highlight the entire row for the record that cannot be modified/deleted with
a yellow background.

- In the 'Batch item deletion' and 'Batch item modification' remove the 'Clear
on loan' link - introduced in bug 10599 - as removing the disabled checkboxes
would make this redundant.

---

I could not see disabled checkboxes in use in the 'Batch patron deletion and
anonymisation', 'Batch patron modification', 'Batch extend due dates', or
'Batch record modification. However, I may have missed it so please do let me
know if it is present there so I can apply my proposed solution to those pages
to for consistency :)
