Florian Pritz f37ac80384 import_realm: Speed up first_message_id calculation.
On my data (about 10 million messages in 1600 streams) this used to take
about 40 hours, while the improved statement completes in roughly 30
seconds.

The old solution had postgres go through the entire table until the
first match for each stream. Thus, the time spent scanning the table
got longer and longer for each stream because postgres always started at
the beginning (and somehow it did not use any indices) and had to skip
over all rows until it found the first message from the stream that is
was looking for each time.

This new statement just performans a bulk operation, scanning the table
only once and then inserts the results directly into the destination
table.

Slightly more verbose inforation about this change can be found in:
