* Alerting: Remove and revert flag alertingBigTransactions
This is a partial revert of #56575 and a removal of the `alertingBigTransactions` flag.
Real-word use has seen no clear performance incentive to maintain this flag. Lowered db connection count
came at the cost of significant increase in CPU usage and query latency.
* Fix lint backend
* Removed last bits of alertingBigTransactions

* Rename RecordStatesAsync to Record
* Rename QueryStates to Query

* Implement primary queries
* Simplify error joining
* Add test for query path
* Add tests for writes and error propagation
* Allow fanout backend to be configured
* Touch up log messages and config validation

* Parse and normalize backend names more consistently against an enum
* Touch-ups to documentation
* Improve clarity around multi-record blocking
* Keep primary and secondaries more distinct
* Rename fanout backend to multiple backend
* Simplify config keys for multi backend mode
* Copy rules instead of accepting pointer
* Deep-copy the rule, for even more guarantees
* Create struct just for needed fields
* Move RuleMeta to historian/model package, iron out package dependencies
* Move tests for dash ID parsing to model package along with code
* Refactor state and manager to not depend directly on image interface
* Move generic errors to models package
* Move NotAvailableImageService to state as its only references are in state tests
* Move NoopImageService to state package
* Move mock to state package
* Fix linter error
* Fix comment styling
* Fix a couple added references introduced by rebase
* Empty commit to kick build
* Reduce piecemeal state fields
* Read data directly off state instead of rule
* Unify state and context into single struct
* Expose contextual information to layer above setNextState
* Work in terms of ContextualState and call historian in batches
* Call annotations service in batches
* Export format state and reason and remove workaround in unrelated test package
* Add new method to annotation service for batch inserting
* Fix loop variable aliasing bug caught by linter, didn't change behavior
* Incl timerange on annotation tests
* Insert one at a time if tags are present
* Point to rule from ContextualState rather than copy fields
* Build annotations and copy data prior to starting goroutine
* Rename to StateTransition
* Use new bulk-insert utility
* Remove rule from StateTransition and pass in directly to historian
* Simplify annotations logic since we have only one rule
* Fix logs and context, nilcheck, simplify method name
* Regenerate mock
Prior to this change, all alert instance writes and deletes happened
individually, in their own database transaction. This change batches up
writes or deletes for a given rule's evaluation loop into a single
transaction before applying it.
These new transactions are off by default, guarded by the feature toggle "alertingBigTransactions"

So we cut time by about 75% and memory allocations by about 60% when
storing and deleting 100 instances.
