mx_tag: bulk UPDATE via temp-table join (per-domain UPDATE full-scanned 1.49M rows each time)

The real bottleneck was the write, not DNS: each per-domain UPDATE full-scanned
fmcsa_carriers (no functional index on lower(split_part(email,'@',2))). Resolve
all domains concurrently into a list, load a temp table, then ONE join-UPDATE =
single table scan. Tags ~12k domains -> hundreds of thousands of carriers fast.
