DatabaseCache - Support batching in set_many

[novucs]

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow Django's Code of Conduct

Feature Description

DatabaseCache currently supports set_many, by iterating each item one by one and saving. This can be a slow loop when saving many items, and would benefit from bulk creation of records, overriding the default.

Problem

This will save time when saving multiple cache records. No other tangible benefit comes to mind.

Additional Details

I'm happy to drop a pull request for this change, but this would be my first for this project so may make mistakes.

Implementation Suggestions

I was thinking about just overriding the existing set_cache method on the DatabaseCache cache backend, bulk creating records instead of one at a time.
