Create plural version of deleteDataNode

- Add method to CpsDataService to batch delete data nodes and lists
- Use native queries to batch delete fragment entities by xpaths,
  for data nodes and lists
- Add performance tests for batch delete
- Refactor FragmentNativeRepository
- Add single-column version of createTemporaryTable
- Renamed metric cps.data.service.datanode.batch.delete
  to cps.data.service.datanode.all.delete
