treap, ffldb: change Put() to take in multiple key-value pairs

Previously, the Put() function took in a single key-value pair,
resulting in memory allocation overhead as the intermediary treapNodes
got allocated and immediately garbage collected, resulting in
performance loss due to the garbage collection overhead.

We're able to recycle the intermediary treapNodes allocated by taking in
multiple key-value pairs. This results in better performance of the
node especially during UTXO cache flushes.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a performance optimization, not a security fix. It changes the database cache's treap (a type of search tree) so that it can insert many key-value pairs in one batch instead of one at a time. The goal is to reduce memory allocation and garbage collection overhead when flushing the UTXO cache. There is no indication in the commit message or diff that this fixes a security vulnerability.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as a normal performance refactor; standard code review and regression testing are sufficient.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant signals detected in commit message or diff.

02

Change is purely an API/performance refactor.

03

No new imports, no cryptographic changes, no authorization or network code.
