class RenderCache in Drupal 8

Wraps the caching logic for the render caching system.

@todo Refactor this out into a generic service capable of cache redirects, and let RenderCache use that. https://www.drupal.org/node/2551419

      // The cache redirection strategy we're implementing here is pretty
      // simple in concept. Suppose we have the following render structure:
      // - A (pre-bubbling, specifies #cache['keys'] = ['foo'])
      // -- B (specifies #cache['contexts'] = ['b'])
      //
      // At the time that we're evaluating whether A's rendering can be
      // retrieved from cache, we won't know the contexts required by its
      // children (the children might not even be built yet), so cacheGet()
      // will only be able to get what is cached for a $cid of 'foo'. But at
      // the time we're writing to that cache, we do know all the contexts that
      // were specified by all children, so what we need is a way to
      // persist that information between the cache write and the next cache
      // read. So, what we can do is store the following into 'foo':
      // [
      //   '#cache_redirect' => TRUE,
      //   '#cache' => [
      //     ...
      //     'contexts' => ['b'],
      //   ],
      // ]
      //
      // This efficiently lets cacheGet() redirect to a $cid that includes all
      // of the required contexts. The strategy is on-demand: in the case where
      // there aren't any additional contexts required by children that aren't
      // already included in the parent's pre-bubbled #cache information, no
      // cache redirection is needed.
      //
      // When implementing this redirection strategy, special care is needed to
      // resolve potential cache ping-pong problems. For example, consider the
      // following render structure:
      // - A (pre-bubbling, specifies #cache['keys'] = ['foo'])
      // -- B (pre-bubbling, specifies #cache['contexts'] = ['b'])
      // --- C (pre-bubbling, specifies #cache['contexts'] = ['c'])
      // --- D (pre-bubbling, specifies #cache['contexts'] = ['d'])
      //
      // Additionally, suppose that:
      // - C only exists for a 'b' context value of 'b1'
      // - D only exists for a 'b' context value of 'b2'
      // This is an acceptable variation, since B specifies that its contents
      // vary on context 'b'.
      //
      // A naive implementation of cache redirection would result in the
      // following:
      // - When a request is processed where context 'b' = 'b1', what would be
      //   cached for a $pre_bubbling_cid of 'foo' is:
      //   [
      //     '#cache_redirect' => TRUE,
      //     '#cache' => [
      //       ...
      //       'contexts' => ['b', 'c'],
      //     ],
      //   ]
      // - When a request is processed where context 'b' = 'b2', we would
      //   retrieve the above from cache, but when following that redirection,
      //   get a cache miss, since we're processing a 'b' context value that
      //   has not yet been cached. Given the cache miss, we would continue
      //   with rendering the structure, perform the required context bubbling
      //   and then overwrite the above item with:
      //   [
      //     '#cache_redirect' => TRUE,
      //     '#cache' => [
      //       ...
      //       'contexts' => ['b', 'd'],
      //     ],
      //   ]
      // - Now, if a request comes in where context 'b' = 'b1' again, the above
      //   would redirect to a cache key that doesn't exist, since we have not
      //   yet cached an item that includes 'b'='b1' and something for 'd'. So
      //   we would process this request as a cache miss, at the end of which,
      //   we would overwrite the above item back to:
      //   [
      //     '#cache_redirect' => TRUE,
      //     '#cache' => [
      //       ...
      //       'contexts' => ['b', 'c'],
      //     ],
      //   ]
      // - The above would always result in accurate renderings, but would
      //   result in poor performance as we keep processing requests as cache
      //   misses even though the target of the redirection is cached, and
      //   it's only the redirection element itself that is creating the
      //   ping-pong problem.
      //
      // A way to resolve the ping-pong problem is to eventually reach a cache
      // state where the redirection element includes all of the contexts used
      // throughout all requests:
      // [
      //   '#cache_redirect' => TRUE,
      //   '#cache' => [
      //     ...
      //     'contexts' => ['b', 'c', 'd'],
      //   ],
      // ]
      //
      // We can't reach that state right away, since we don't know what the
      // result of future requests will be, but we can incrementally move
      // towards that state by progressively merging the 'contexts' value
      // across requests. That's the strategy employed below and tested in
      // \Drupal\Tests\Core\Render\RendererBubblingTest::testConditionalCacheContextBubblingSelfHealing().
