Lőrinc 8d801e3efb optimization: bulk serialization writes in WriteBlockUndo and WriteBlock ...

Similarly to the serialization reads optimization, buffered writes will enable batched XOR calculations.
This is especially beneficial since the current implementation requires copying the write input's `std::span` to perform obfuscation.
Batching allows us to apply XOR operations on the internal buffer instead, reducing unnecessary data copying and improving performance.
