Description

Introduced in #5602, db/multi.go introduces a new abstraction layer called MultiInserter, which is good at turning many consecutive inserts into a single multi-row insert. This is useful for inserting new authorizations and other rows that are inserted in batches. Once it has been proven to be performant, we should expand its use into additional SA methods.

Research direction

Start with db/multi.go and the MultiInserter abstraction introduced in #5602, then inspect the existing SA methods that insert rows in batches. Confirm its performance before identifying additional suitable methods; done means expanding MultiInserter use without regressing insertion behavior or performance.
