Very slow `catalogrule_product` index even when no catalog rule exists

[dudzio12]

On a Magento 2.4.3 instance:

• I don't have any catalog rule
• I have ~100k products, mostly configurable
• I have 4 websites
• Have almost all my indexes setup on scheduled mode

Preconditions (*)

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Add some ids (or update some product attributes) into catalogrule_product_cl table.
2. Run indexer_update_all_views CRON job.

Expected result (*)

1. Product ids quantity should not have that big impact in index processing time.
2. The index process should end in a reasonable time.

Actual result (*)

1. Product ids quantity is brutally impacting execution time.
2. Index process should end in a moment, when no catalog rule is set.

I'll prepare PR and run some tests with that change implemented. It won't fix non optimal index, but will lock some unnecessary code execution.

The performance of this indexer appears to be incredibly slow, as it reindexes products one by one, instead of in batches. I've taken a quick look at the code involved, and I can't really see a good reason why this has been done.

The select builder used is here - https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/0a834cce01c3d924d450c9a71123d9ac6de68b62/app/code/Magento/CatalogRule/Model/Indexer/RuleProductsSelectBuilder.php#L81-L109

A single product id is passed in, and used to restrict the query to that product, but the query would still work if multiple products were passed in and an IN clause was used instead.

Similarly, the place that calls and then uses the query built by RuleProductsSelectBuilder is here - https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/0a834cce01c3d924d450c9a71123d9ac6de68b62/app/code/Magento/CatalogRule/Model/Indexer/ReindexRuleProductPrice.php#L88-L112

This creates a key value using the product id coming from the data the query returns, so it too would still work with multiple products.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I think that changing these functions to take in an array of product ids instead of a single one (and then batching appropriately in IndexBuilder) would dramatically reduce the amount of time required.
