Bug Description

EG 3.3+

In Angular Vandelay, when viewing record matches for a queued record, the grid row selector checkboxes are useless and misleading. They should be disabled.

To see what I mean, create a queue containing a record that matches multiple existing records. Inspect the queue and click on the link in the Matches column. This takes you to the Record Matches screen, which lists all the matching records for your queued record. On the left-hand side of the grid you'll see the usual row selector checkboxes, but they don't do anything; if you want to select a merge target (the only meaningful action that can be taken on this screen), you need to click on a cell in the Merge Target column. When the row selector checkboxes are visible, users will naturally assume that's what they should use to select a merge target, and will be confused when these checkboxes have no effect.

I'll share a fix for this momentarily.

Test plan:

[1] In Angular Vandelay, create a queue containing a record that matches multiple existing records.
[2] Inspect the queue and click on the link in the Matches column, e.g. "(2)". This takes you to the Record Matches screen.
[3] Select a row using the grid row selector checkboxes and then click Return to Queue. Your selection has had no effect.
[4] Return to the Record Matches screen by clicking the Matches link again. This time, select a row by clicking a cell in the Merge Target column. Click Return to Queue. The link in the Matches column is now in bold and has an asterisk beside it, e.g. "(2)*", indicating that your merge target has been selected.
[5] Apply the fix, rebuild with `ng build`, and deploy your updates. Clear your browser cache to ensure you get the updates.
[6] Repeat step 2.
[7] Now, the grid has no row selector checkboxes. This makes it much more obvious that you need to use the Merge Target column to select your matching record.
