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.

So we cut time by about 75% and memory allocations by about 60% when
storing and deleting 100 instances.
This change also updates some of our tests so that they run successfully against postgreSQL - we were using random Int64s, but postgres integers, which our tables use, max out at 2^31-1
This change adds a field to state.State and models.AlertInstance
that indicate the "Reason" that an instance has its current state. This
helps us account for cases where the state is "Normal" but the
underlying evaluation returned "NoData" or "Error", for example.
Fixes#42606
