Bulk scattering agenda items when the user wants to log reschedules does not work. 

Steps to reproduce: 
1. Set `org-log-reschedule' to the value `"time"'

   Alternatively, customize “Org Log Reschedule” to “Record timestamp with note”.

2. Add an org mode file with the following contents to the agenda file list
   ┌────
   │     Testing scatter 1
   │     SCHEDULED: <2023-08-22 Tue>
   │     Testing scatter 2
   │     SCHEDULED: <2023-08-22 Tue>
   │     Testing scatter 3
   │     SCHEDULED: <2023-08-22 Tue>
   └────
   (As in previous reports, I can’t paste these as actual headings. Their structure is irrelevant.)

3. Mark all of previous headings for bulk action in the agenda

4. Bulk scatter the marked headings (`B S', by default)

5. Fill out the prompted note with anything and hit `C-c C-c' to finish

You will note Emacs reports that only `Testing scatter 1' has been rescheduled, has a note, and all headings remain marked. Emacs will also /not/ prompt you for notes for the other headings or reschedule them- the process terminates here. This issue does not occur when `org-log-reschedule' is set to its default value: “No logging”.

The expected behavior is that either Emacs will prompt me for more notes for the remaining headings, or at the very least will scatter them.

I have written and attached a rudimentary patch which “solves” this problem by storing `org-log-reschedule'’s value, scattering with “No logging” set, and then restoring it. I think it is up for debate whether or not the logging behavior in the case of a bulk scatter should respect the user’s settings, or prompt just once at the beginning for a note (copying it to all subsequent scattered headlines), or if it should be ignored entirely (as in my patch).

Should value 'note.
Confirmed.

The proper fix is re-writing note taking system to use recursive edit.
