Fix N+1 query issue in Grant admin invitation letter flag

Use Django''s Exists annotation in get_queryset() instead of calling
has_invitation_letter_request() method for each grant in the admin list.
This optimizes the query to use a single SQL query with EXISTS subquery
rather than individual queries for each grant row.
