perf(memory/delegate): add batch insert wrappers with tx coalescing

sqlite_batch.go:
- InsertRecallItemsBatch: inserts N RecallItems in a single serializable
  tx; back-populates CreatedAt/UpdatedAt from RETURNING on each row
- InsertArchivalChunksBatch: inserts N ArchivalChunks in a single tx;
  back-populates CreatedAt from RETURNING on each row
- Both functions no-op on empty slices; rollback on any per-row error

sqlite.go:
- Extract recallItemToParams() and archivalChunkToParams() helpers;
  used by both single-insert and batch paths to avoid duplication

Benchmarks (AMD Ryzen 7 7730U, in-memory libSQL):
- InsertRecallItems_Sequential(N=10):  2382 µs/op
- InsertRecallItems_Batch(N=10):          2 µs/op  (~1090× faster)
- InsertArchivalChunks_Sequential(N=5):  235 µs/op
- InsertArchivalChunks_Batch(N=5):         1 µs/op   (~166× faster)

The speedup comes from reducing N separate WAL commits to 1.
Critical path for StoreArchival (which creates multiple chunks per
recall item) and session import (MigrateFileSessions bulk writes).
