Description

"Enable/disable" all controller services was added in 1.16.0 via https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-8927

Creating this Jira to capture improvements for this useful new feature. Some are taken from the conversation from https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/5247

• Show the user can see the full scope of their action and gets updates while the action completes.
• When enabling add ability to choose to start referencing components as well.
• "Enable all controller services" starts enabling controller services that are INVALID. The UI appears like they are enabled though because the "Disable" icon is available. In reality, the controller service is stuck in ENABLING status.
