This is a workaround to speed up the bulk updating of asset metadata in dandisets with a large number of assets.
The way the code is currently written, each asset metadata update results in an O(N) computation across all the assets, making an update of all asset metadata an O(N^2) operation in total. This workaround drops that to O(N) at the cost of not updating the summary stats.
@AlmightyYakob and @mvandenburgh helped me review this as I wrote it, so I'm formally self-reviewing and merging to master so that it appears on staging; if it behaves well there, I will promote to production so that @satra is able to speed up his process.
