Make manual backups of drupal8 on prod
Update chef repo to use drupal8 instead of drupal for database to be backed up - doesn't change the backup script on prod

Merged work from community PR to speed indexing into develop and v5.13 branches, deployed to dev/stage, verified speedup that avoids page timeouts on stage.
Investigated reasons for slow updates/bad scaling when selecting files. Tried/rejected a simple fix. Currently believe that the root cause is the whole file table being regenerated after each selection. Changing that is probably pretty involved.

FYI: I'll be away June 5-11 (DCM mtg) and possibly sometime in late June.
@Seba - The /opt/backup_scripts/mysql script on prod is backing up the drupal database rather than the drupal8 database. I tried a local change and updating the recipe in ops_chef, but the change doesn't stay on prod. Can you fix? FWIW: I've made a few manual backups of drupal8 so we have recent copies.
