Summary:
We can customize, whether the document browser allows to pick multiple items or not by specifying `allowsPickingMultipleItems`. We can also specify whether custom UIDocumentBrowserActions can work on multiple items or not by specifying `supportsMultipleItems`. We can however not specify, whether our app supports opening of multiple documents. What we want is to configure UIDocumentBrowserViewController in a way that it allows to pick multiple items, but only open a single document.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached DocumentBrowser-based app
2. create 2 new documents
3. tap on select
4. select both

Expected Results:
The "open" button is disabled

Actual Results:
The "open" button is enabled and there’s no way to disable it

Version:
iOS 11b2
