What this PR does / why we need it: The (undocumented?) API call /api/index/perms iterates through all dvobjects in the database in one synchronous transaction, making it `unusable. This PR replaces that logic with an asynchronous iteration over the datasets and dataverses in the root dataverse and use of the index self and children logic used elsewhere. That should make it much faster/less memory intensive.

Which issue(s) this PR closes:

  • Closes #

Special notes for your reviewer: FWIW - the old code calls findAll dvobjects which, despite the allExceptFiles variable name, includes files. The code then puts all the files in a map and, as far as I can see, never used them.

Suggestions on how to test this: Run the api call before and after, confirm speed/memory improvement, check the db to make sure all last per index times are updated after the new call.

Does this PR introduce a user interface change? If mockups are available, please link/include them here:

Is there a release notes update needed for this change?:
