/**
 * Allows the model to reset all records as batch command.
 * This way any slugging, geocoding or other beforeValidate, beforeSave, ... callbacks
 * can be retriggered for them.
 *
 * By default it will not update the modified timestamp and will re-save id and displayName.
 * If you need more fields, you need to specify them manually.
 *
 * You can also disable validate callback or provide a conditions scope to match only a subset
 * of records.
 *
 * For performance and memory reasons the records will only be processed in loops (not all at once).
 * If you have time-sensitive data, you can modify the limit of records per loop as well as the
 * timeout in between each loop.
 *
 * It is recommended to attach this behavior dynamically where needed:
 *
 *    $this->Model->Behaviors->load('Tools.Reset', array(...));
 *    $this->Model->resetRecords();
 *
 * For tables with lots of records you might want to use a shell and the CLI to invoke the reset/update process.
