Update has_many-associations.md #1629

I struggled to figure out how to make the has_many association work with the build strategy in a simple way. I asked ChatGPT and it came up with this strategy, which I tested and worked on an app last night. I also looked in my past code and realized years ago I figured this out previously in other apps I have written. I imagine its a common pattern.

It would be handy to be able to look up this code snippet for me in the repetitive but not common case I need to do this. I find it easier to reason about than the other examples in the documentation, it works well, and can save the need to persist to the database. I also would prefer to be able to look this up in official documentation and not an AI assistant.
