Fix: use .distinct() for existing-grant lookup, drop flaky query-count invariant tests

.distinct() lets the database dedupe identity ids server-side instead of
transferring one row per (object, grantee) match and deduping in Python --
was the dominant cost on a large selection with existing grants.

Also replaced the two query-count-equality tests (bulk_edit and the
bulk_edit_objects API path) with plain functional-correctness checks at
both batch sizes.  Hopefully stops that flake.
