[QGIS-Developer] Apply style to all selected layers and groups

Richard,

We tend to operate on older versions of software so I see that the latest
has this, but what 3.28 does not do is when you are using the Layer Styling
panel, it only works with one layer. Once that layer is set then you can
copy and paste it to the rest, but it would be really nice if you didn't
need the additional copy and paste step.

Thanks,

Calvin
