asmhatre 66208bcd97 Add caching: the Spring cache abstraction, keys, eviction timing and the self-invocation trap
A Spring Boot 4.1.1 module whose test suite is the evidence for the article: 19 tests
producing 22 transcripts under docs/output/, plus 12 documentation chapters.

Findings the build pins:
- @EnableCaching has no exposeProxy attribute; the widely-copied
  @EnableCaching(exposeProxy = true) does not compile.
- Two methods sharing a cache name and an argument type share a key space, and one
  silently serves the other's answers.
- beforeInvocation = true is NOT deferred by TransactionAwareCacheManagerProxy on
  7.0.9 - doEvict picks evictIfPresent, which the decorator does not intercept.
- Four of five invalid declarations start a clean context and throw at the first call.
- Caffeine on the classpath silently displaces the simple provider.

# A rollback does not roll the cache back
cacheManager : org.springframework.cache.concurrent.ConcurrentMapCacheManager
nameOf(1) -> Alice
An outer @Transactional method calls the @CachePut update, which succeeds,
and then fails on the next step. The transaction rolls back.
what the cache serves : Alice Cooper
what the database has : Alice
The cache is now holding a name that no transaction ever committed. Nothing
will correct it until the entry expires or something evicts it.
--- the same shape with @CacheEvict ---
nameOf(2) -> Bob
after the rollback, nameOf(2) -> Bob
database loads: 2 <- the entry was evicted, so this one reloaded
An eviction that fires too early is self-healing: the next read goes to the
database and re-populates correctly. A @CachePut that fires too early is not.
