Use batch scripts for the Release Tracker form

We should be using a batch script in the Release Tracker form to create/update nodes for any types (Release, Packages, Files, Installers).

We’ve observed that creating or updating File nodes via the form frequently results in timeouts. This is becoming a reliability issue, and using a batch script would avoid request timeouts while making the process more scalable and predictable.

In addition, as discussed in the following issue:

eclipsefdn/software-dev/api/eclipsefdn-downloads-api#2 (comment 6284314)

We also need a batch script to mass-update existing File nodes on the packaging website to ensure that the path prefix is no longer stored in the database.

A batch-based solution would allow us to safely and consistently apply these updates across all affected files.
