[migration/3.21.0] performance and reliability fixes - use EXCEPT instead of NOT IN, seems to improve performance dramatically on postgresql - delete rows from cw_<etype> tables whose eid is unknown - deal with missing/dangling required inline relations (by deleting the subject entities) instead of asserting - fix/improve print statements - don't ask for confirmation before running pure select queries

Entity types used to manage workflows
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* _`State`, workflow state
* _`Transition`, workflow transition
* _`TrInfo`, record of a transition trafic for an entity

Other entity types
