 Using CSS is semantically more correct - there's no reason the checkbox in
 `.check-column` will ever need to show without JS, because it's only
 functional via JS. Thus the practical advantage of the CSS is that it will
 work even if you do a custom column that uses the `cb` callback. It's not
 uncommon to see code like:

 {{{
 function my_cpt_edit_columns( $columns ) {
         $columns = array(
                 'cb' => '<input type="checkbox" />',
                 'title' => 'Name',
         );

         return $columns;
 }
 }}}

 If you use `.hide-if-no-js`, then devs have to add that class to their
 markup as well, even if using the core-defined column callback (which is
 where the `.check-column` class comes from). Also, the updates screen uses
 these select all checkboxes, which were not accounted for in earlier
 patches, but are taken care of with this method.
