New Default Logic for Admin - Cleanup unused asset blobs Task PRO 

In 3.43.0, we added a system property to enable batch delete for the Admin - Cleanup unused asset blobs task; using batch delete greatly improved the task's performance. To allow you to benefit from this behavior without having to take extra steps, we have now made batch delete the default behavior.

Note that if you were already using the previously existing system property, you don't need to do anything after upgrading.
