perf(editor): Improve performance when opening large workflows with node issues (#7901)

This PR should improve performance when opening large workflows that
contain node issues (Fixes ADO-1521)

**Background**
Main reason for this poor performance is that our `getCurrentWorkflow()`
store getter is unnecessarily heavy but on top of that we are calling it
more than we need. This addresses the second part of the issue by
changing the following:
- Pausing node issue processing while workflows are loading
- Only getting current workflow once (instead for every node) when
calling `refreshNodeIssues`

**Benchmark**
This was tested on a workflow attached to [this Linear
ticket](https://linear.app/n8n/issue/ADO-1501/deliveryhero-enterprise-instance-very-slow-loading-workflows)
and this fix brings down opening time from **~1m10s** to **~28s** on my
laptop.

**Tests**
