Currently, although using both dirty tracking (ivar backed and
attributes backed) on one model is not supported (doesn't fully work at
least), both dirty tracking are being performed, that is very slow.
As long as attributes backed dirty tracking is used, ivar backed dirty
tracking should not need to be performed.
I've refactored to extract new `ForcedMutationTracker` which only tracks
`force_change` to be performed for ivar backed dirty tracking, that
makes dirty tracking on Active Record 2x ~ 30x faster.

When an array of hashes is added to a `HashWithIndifferentAccess`, the
hashes are replaced with HWIAs by mutating the array in place.
If an attribute's value is an array of hashes, `changes_to_save` will
convert it to an array of HWIAs as a side-effect of adding it to the
changes hash.
Using `merge!` instead of `[]=` fixes the problem, as `merge!` copies
any array values in the provided hash instead of mutating them.
`changed_attribute_names_to_save` is called in `keys_for_partial_write`,
which is called on every save when partial writes are enabled.
We can avoid generating the full changes hash by asking the mutation
tracker for just the names of the changed attributes. At minimum this
saves one array allocation per attribute, but will also avoid calling
`Attribute#original_value` which is expensive for serialized attributes.
#30985 caused `object.save` performance regression since calling
`changes` in `changes_applied` is very slow.
We don't need to call the expensive method in `changes_applied` as long
as `@attributes` is tracked by mutation tracker.
