Add ability to add works to existing list from Bulk Search

Feature Requested

Currently the bulk search endpoint is a handy UI to easily support adding many books to a new list. Extending this to add books to an already existing list would be a useful expansion.

### Solution Backend: Reuse the logic behind /lists/add, just extending it to handle adding works to an existing list by ID.

Frontend: When the user clicks “Add to List” on the bulk search page, a dropdown will open showing their existing lists. They can either pick one to add the selected works to or click “Create new list” to go through the current /lists/add flow.
