skip some dict munging in event persistence (#11560)

Create a new dict helper method `simple_insert_many_values_txn`, which takes
raw row values, rather than {key=>value} dicts. This saves us a bunch of dict
munging, and makes it easier to use generators rather than creating
intermediate lists and dicts.
