Excessive webhook triggers on dataset import

[mtilda]

Describe the bug

sanity dataset import triggers webhooks excessively.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Have a dataset with in-the-order-of a dozen documents in it.
2. Have a webhook configured to trigger on Create, Update, and Delete.
3. Export a copy of your dataset using sanity dataset export.
4. At this point, you may need to modify the data in order to reproduce the behavior.
5. Import your dataset using sanity dataset import (with the --replace flag to overwrite existing documents)

Expected behavior

Data should import and then trigger one webhook call.

Observed behavior

My webhook triggered 45 times in rapid (milliseconds) succession.

Impact

This has caused me to hit a rate limit with the service receiving the webhook, resulting in temporary denial of service.

I'm sorry you experienced this, @mtilda ! In general, we recommend making your webhook filter as specific as possible. Sanity datasets include some internal documents, and also metadata for things like assets, AI Assist commands, tasks, and so on. I see you have some associated feature requests that look very valuable, and I'll respond to those as well.

We're happy to have a look at the way you've configured your webhooks and offer advice, but this may be expected behavior.
