Performance: stop embedding every document ID in selection_data queries (#14597)

* Fix: count selection_data from one pass over the filtered documents

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Chore: use document type ids in the bulk edit selection_data test

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* Batch search selection data queries
