perf: optimize LoTW and DCL sync with batch operations

Fixes frontend freeze during large sync operations (8000+ QSOs).

Root cause: Sequential processing with individual database operations
(~24,000 queries for 8000 QSOs) blocked the event loop, preventing
polling requests from being processed.

Changes:
- Process QSOs in batches of 100
- Single SELECT query per batch for duplicate detection
- Batch INSERTs for new QSOs and change tracking
- Add yield points (setImmediate) after each batch to allow
  event loop processing of polling requests

Performance: ~98% reduction in database operations
Before: 8000 QSOs × 3 queries = ~24,000 sequential operations
After: 80 batches × ~4 operations = ~320 operations
