Performance: read shared_by grants once instead of probing per document

The shared_by__id filter counted a correlated guardian subquery per owned document. No guardian index leads with object_pk, so MariaDB re-scanned the grant table for every row (a 360k document install did not finish in 442 s), and Postgres took 21 s for an owner sharing 196k documents.

Match against each grant table once, as an uncorrelated DISTINCT set of integer keys, with a plain OR of two IN conditions. This also drops the aggregate and HAVING.
