Batch larger serialisations

[elmarti]

Current behavior

Node has an internal string length limit, meaning that any data larger than 2GB. will fail with a string length error, when we run JSON.parse here https://github.com/LokiJS-Forge/LokiDB/blob/master/packages/loki/src/loki.ts#L687

Expected behavior

Any size of data will be eventually serialized without error

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Allow the batch insert of large quantities of data greater than 2GB

Environment

LokiDB version: 2.1.0

Node v14.17.0


Others:
- We could add an explicit batch length like knex does in their `batchInsert` method https://knexjs.org/
- We could internal batch inserts with an arbitrary value than can be overridden in DB config e.g batches of 10,000

Am I hitting this issue here? nuxt/content#947 would be great if that got fixed!

@lustremedia I attempted, but it's quite fundamental to how Loki works so it would be pretty significant, also note that this is somewhat unmaintained #190 (comment) - I can recommend the successor that I wrote that doesn't have this issue - main caveat is lack of indexing at this point (in the near future), although it performs pretty well without it https://github.com/elmarti/camadb
