Book selection form can load thousands of nodes

Problem/Motivation

When editing a child page of a book, it is possible to move it to another book. For this purpose, Drupal renders a select element with all (root-level) book nodes (that the user can access) as options. As it is possible to have thousands of books on a site this is not only very bad usability but can also be detrimental for performance.

Since #3040181: Unpublished books appear in the list of books at /book → the performance impact of this has greatly increased (i.e. gotten (much) worse), as with this not only will (possibly) thousands of books be loaded, but a runtime access check will be performed for each one of them.

Steps to reproduce

Enable Book module
Create a few thousand books
Attempt to load the form to a book-enabled node

Expected result: The form loads in a normal amount of time
Actual result: The form takes incredibly long to load
