Blockables/Certs/Votes API batching

[thehesiod]

For two different reasons:
We added a "state" column to the events admin page to keep track of the current state of each event's blockable state. To do this we needed to do a page-size of requests to get the blockables, and then get any certs which were available. This is a lot of API calls and ends up making our instance count often peak

Similarly on the blockables page we grab any certs which are available for blockables to get a better state result.

I can see this being solved in one of two ways:

1. On the events query API call, a parameter which controls if you want it to return the associated blockables/certs...and similarly on the blockables query call to return any certs/votes associated with the results

2. Having batch get support for certs/blockables.

thoughts? It would be good to handle #28 as well with the design.

It sounds like you might be describing withContext (link) by which we support association of blockable+cert+vote entities (via this function).
