Ristretto cache (#2563)
* Try Ristretto cache

* Tweak

* It's beautiful

* Update GMSL

* More strict keyable interface

* Fix that some more

* Make less panicky

* Don't enforce mutability checks for now

* Determine mutability using deep equality

* Tweaks

* Namespace keys

* Make federation caches mutable

* Update cost estimation, add metric

* Update GMSL

* Estimate cost for metrics better

* Reduce counters a bit

* Try caching events

* Some guards

* Try again

* Try this

* Use separate caches for hopefully better hash distribution

* Fix bug with admitting events into cache

* Try to fix bugs

* Check nil

* Try that again

* Preserve order jeezo this is messy

* thanks VS Code for doing exactly the wrong thing

* Try this again

* Be more specific

* aaaaargh

* One more time

* That might be better

* Stronger sorting

* Cache expiries, async publishing of EDUs

* Put it back

* Use a shared cache again

* Cost estimation fixes

* Update ristretto

* Reduce counters a bit

* Clean up a bit

* Update GMSL

* 1GB

* Configurable cache sizees

* Tweaks

* Add `config.DataUnit` for specifying friendly cache sizes

* Various tweaks

* Update GMSL

* Add back some lazy loading caching

* Include key in cost

* Include key in cost

* Tweak max age handling, config key name

* Only register prometheus metrics if requested

* Review comments @S7evinK

* Don't return errors when creating caches (it is better just to crash since otherwise we'll `nil`-pointer exception everywhere)

* Review comments

* Update sample configs

* Update GHA Workflow

* Update Complement images to Go 1.18

* Remove the cache test from the federation API as we no longer guarantee immediate cache admission

* Don't check the caches in the renewal test

* Possibly fix the upgrade tests

* Update to matrix-org/gomatrixserverlib#322

* Update documentation to refer to Go 1.18

RoomServer

RoomServer Internals

Numeric IDs

To save space matrix string identifiers are mapped to local numeric IDs. The numeric IDs are more efficient to manipulate and use less space to store. The numeric IDs are never exposed in the API the room server exposes. The numeric IDs are converted to string IDs before they leave the room server. The numeric ID for a string ID is never 0 to avoid being confused with go's default zero value. Zero is used to indicate that there was no corresponding string ID. Well-known event types and event state keys are preassigned numeric IDs.

State Snapshot Storage

The room server stores the state of the matrix room at each event. For efficiency the state is stored as blocks of 3-tuples of numeric IDs for the event type, event state key and event ID. For further efficiency the state snapshots are stored as the combination of up to 64 these blocks. This allows blocks of the room state to be reused in multiple snapshots.

The resulting database tables look something like this:
