Set the Rack to null on multiple devices

New functionality

Proposed functionality

When you edit multiple devices at once, it's not possible to set the Rack to null:

Such a feature would be helpful. This action should delete information from 'Rack', 'Rack face' and 'Position', on each device.

Use case

I have decommissioned several servers and I want to remove them from the rack.

This is difficult because while setting multiple racks to null is non-problematic, setting multiple devices to a non-null rack can lead to conflicts and validation errors. Maybe a solution to this would need to be a one-off kind of form control just for setting the rack to null for all selected devices.
