Optimize menu link rebuild

Re-rolled the patch to the latest 7.x. please review.

Patch #35 does not apply to the latest drupal-7.98.

Yes, because system_update_7086 was introduced in Drupal 7.98.

I am going to paste my comment from other issue also here: In case someone has run the update hook from this patch, it is likely that the real system_update_7086 introduced by 📌 Improve security of session ID against DB exposure or SQL injection Fixed in Drupal 7.98 will not run. This will cause that these sites would not use the security improvement, because the session hashing will not be enabled. See: https://www.drupal.org/node/3364841 →

I recommend that all sites using this patch should carefully check that change record and a committed patch and take measures to ensure that they have the session hashing enabled.

Could someone create a patch for Drupal 7.98.
I am not a coder but would like to patch my site with the correct patch.
Thanks.

Weird, the same code failed using an MR.

It seems like it was only a random failure in the MR. I triggered the test again and it is green now.

oh! makes sense, awesome, thank you @poker10

I just saw this issue at the top of the list.
Reminds me of this old one from long ago, #512962: Optimize menu_router_build() / _menu_router_save() →
And now I see you already mention it.

Adding the link.

Here's an updated patch for Drupal 7.100.

It bumps the update hook number since core also added `system_update_7087`
