Add a Cost Field to Product Quick Edit and Bulk Edit

Adding a cost field to WooCommerce Quick Edit and Bulk Edit lets you update product costs straight from the products list, without opening each product. Cost of Goods: Product Cost & Profit Calculator for WooCommerce adds this cost field to both Quick Edit and Bulk Edit. This is a Pro feature.
