No select all feature in page history restore

Description:
When restoring a page history the current options are restore all items, or
restore the items which have been manually selected (checked). This is very
annoying if there is a long history and only 1 item to be *excluded*. I'm
proposing therefore that a simple "check all" javascript be included in
Special:Undelete. Simple request really so I think I don't need to eloborate any
further.

See [[MediaWiki:Watcheditlist/Check_all]] for a possible JavaScript.

If dealing with a page that has a lot of revisions, be aware that undeleting
them all is quite a performance killer. Brion is working on a better method of
deleting single revisions now, so it's worth holding off on implementing this,
if at all.

You should already be able to select all but one revision quite easily by
shift-clicking to select all the checkboxes, then deselecting that one revision.

Doesn't stop it being a bugger performance-wise. And that solution is JavaScript
based.
