Batch fetch bundled annotations (#14491)

Avoid an n+1 query problem and fetch the bundled aggregations for
m.annotation relations in a single query instead of a query per event.

This applies similar logic for as was previously done for edits in
8b309adb43 (#11660) and threads
in b65acead42 (#11752).
