* Add cache types for catalog/services and health/services and basic test that caching works * Support non-blocking cache types with Cache-Control semantics. * Update API docs to include caching info for every endpoint. * Comment updates per PR feedback. * Add note on caching to the 10,000 foot view on the architecture page to make the new data path more clear. * Document prepared query staleness quirk and force all background requests to AllowStale so we can spread service discovery load across servers.
