PERF: Ensure transaction is of minimal size
A giant transaction in a post migration can be very risky.

This splits the large amount of work this migration needs to do into 2 parts:

1. A re-runnable cleanup job prior to transaction
2. A minimally sized transaction to add the database constraint

This avoids large amounts of churn on the table
