justin 1562febdcf Fix list_persons N+1 (the ~4s person-page load)
Opening any person page on a large tree took 4-5s on an idle server. Root cause:
list_persons looped over every person calling privacy.person_visibility (which
issues TWO get_membership_role queries per call) AND _attach_primary_name (one
name query per person). On the reporter's 2,324-person tree that's ~7,000
serialized DB round-trips per page load — the person page fetches the full
person list to build its name-lookup map.

Fix:
- Resolve the viewer's membership role ONCE. Members see the whole tree (full),
  so skip the per-person privacy engine entirely.
- Add _attach_primary_names: one batched names query (person_id IN (...),
  ordered the same as the single-person query so it picks the same name) instead
  of one per person.
- Apply the same batching to the non-member path, search_persons, the deleted-
  persons list, and public_view_service.list_public_persons.

Member-path list_persons goes from ~3·N queries to ~3 total. Other tree-wide
list endpoints (events/relationships/media/citations) were already flat selects.

Adds a regression test that asserts list_persons issues a constant number of
queries (not proportional to person count). Suite: 103 passing.
