Description

The batch statements in libSQL remote protocol ("hrana") are pretty complex. Let's simplify them by adding a conditionless mode where we either ignore failures or stop on the first one.

Research direction
Examine the existing batch implementation in the libSQL remote protocol (hrana) to understand its complexity. Look at the source files related to hrana protocol, likely in the `libsql/` directory. Consider adding a new conditionless mode that either ignores failures or stops on the first one. The implementation should modify the protocol handling code and ensure backward compatibility.
