refactor(cache): redesign cache system with structured keys and improved performance

- Add repo_path parameter to cached_response and cached_vec_response functions
- Implement structured cache key format with namespace, repo_path, and request proto
- Replace global cache with Moka in-memory cache using weight-based eviction
- Set 256MB memory cap with 10-minute TTL and 2-minute TTI policy
- Add metrics collection for cache operations and evictions
- Implement efficient repo-scoped invalidation using key structure
- Add detailed documentation comments explaining cache architecture
- Remove outdated dependencies and update dependency versions
- Add error handling for encoding failures in cache operations
- Optimize Vec responses with length-delimited encoding and pre-allocation

//! In-memory response cache layer for GitKS.
//!
//! Two-tier architecture:
//! 1. **Moka in-memory cache** (this module) — sub-microsecond lookups for hot data
//! 2. **Disk cache** (disk_cache.rs) — persistent cache for pack-objects / info-refs
//!
//! # Cache Key Format
//!
//! Keys are structured to enable efficient repo-scoped invalidation:
//!
//! ```text
//! [namespace_len: u8][namespace: &[u8]][repo_path_len: u16 LE][repo_path: &[u8]][request_proto: &[u8]]
//! ```
//!
//! This allows `invalidate_repo` to extract and match the repo_path without
//! protobuf decoding or substring scanning.
//!
//! # Eviction Policy
//!
//! - **Weight-based**: total memory capped at 256 MB (weighed by key+value capacity)
//! - **TTI** (time-to-idle): 2 minutes — frequently accessed entries stay hot
//! - **TTL** (time-to-live): 10 minutes — hard upper bound for safety
//! - Evictions are tracked via metrics for observability
