Swifty 2c6d85d15e feat(platform): Shared cache (#11150)
### Problem
When running multiple backend pods in production, requests can be routed
to different pods causing inconsistent cache states. Additionally, the
current cache implementation in `autogpt_libs` doesn't support shared
caching across processes, leading to data inconsistency and redundant
cache misses.

### Changes 🏗️

- **Moved cache implementation from autogpt_libs to backend**
(`/backend/backend/util/cache.py`)
  - Removed `/autogpt_libs/autogpt_libs/utils/cache.py`
  - Centralized cache utilities within the backend module
  - Updated all import statements across the codebase

- **Implemented Redis-based shared caching**
- Added `shared_cache` parameter to `@cached` decorator for
cross-process caching
  - Implemented Redis connection pooling for efficient cache operations
  - Added support for cache key pattern matching and bulk deletion
  - Added TTL refresh on cache access with `refresh_ttl_on_get` option

- **Enhanced cache functionality**
  - Added thundering herd protection with double-checked locking
  - Implemented thread-local caching with `@thread_cached` decorator
- Added cache management methods: `cache_clear()`, `cache_info()`,
`cache_delete()`
  - Added support for both sync and async functions

- **Updated store caching** (`/backend/server/v2/store/cache.py`)
  - Enabled shared caching for all store-related cache functions
  - Set appropriate TTL values (5-15 minutes) for different cache types
  - Added `clear_all_caches()` function for cache invalidation

- **Added Redis configuration**
  - Added Redis connection settings to backend settings
  - Configured dedicated connection pool for cache operations
  - Set up binary mode for pickle serialization

### Checklist 📋

#### For code changes:
- [x] I have clearly listed my changes in the PR description
- [x] I have made a test plan
- [x] I have tested my changes according to the test plan:
  - [x] Verify Redis connection and cache operations work correctly
  - [x] Test shared cache across multiple backend instances
  - [x] Verify cache invalidation with `clear_all_caches()`
- [x] Run cache tests: `poetry run pytest
backend/backend/util/cache_test.py`
  - [x] Test thundering herd protection under concurrent load
  - [x] Verify TTL refresh functionality with `refresh_ttl_on_get=True`
  - [x] Test thread-local caching for request-scoped data
  - [x] Ensure no performance regression vs in-memory cache

#### For configuration changes:

- [x] `.env.default` is updated or already compatible with my changes
- [x] `docker-compose.yml` is updated or already compatible with my
changes (Redis already configured)
- [x] I have included a list of my configuration changes in the PR
description (under **Changes**)
- Redis cache configuration uses existing Redis service settings
(REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT, REDIS_PASSWORD)
  - No new environment variables required
