Add evictor based loadbalancer caching (#644)

* Add Evictor dependency. Implement EvictorCache.

* Add EvictorBasedLoadBalancerCacheManager. Add evictor to starter.

* Set caffeine InitialCapacity from properties.

* Add tests. Add javadocs. Fix creating multiple cache instances.

* Reformat. Change property name. Add documentation.

* Add more tests.

* Move evictor version to parent. Add more tests.

* Ignore .flattened-pom.xml.

* Encapsulate Evictor and switch to non-evictor specific class naming.

* Adjust the docs.

* Fix after code review.

=== Spring Cloud LoadBalancer Caching
Apart from the basic `ServiceInstanceListSupplier` implementation that retrieves instances
via `DiscoveryClient` each time it has to choose an instance, we provide a https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine[Caffeine-backed]
implementation.
To make use of it, you need to have `com.github.ben-manes.caffeine:caffeine` in the classpath.
The default setup includes `expireAfterWrite` set to 30 seconds and records set to soft references.
Apart from the basic `ServiceInstanceListSupplier` implementation that retrieves instances via `DiscoveryClient` each time it has to choose an instance, we provide two caching implementations.
You can set your own `TTL` value (the time after write after which entries should be expired), expressed as `Duration`, by passing a `String` compliant with the https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/html/spring-boot-features.html#boot-features-external-config-conversion-duration[Spring Boot `String` to `Duration` converter syntax].

==== https://github.com/ben-manes/caffeine[Caffeine]-backed LoadBalancer Cache Implementation
If you have `com.github.ben-manes.caffeine:caffeine` in the classpath, Caffeine-based implementation will be used.
See the <<loadbalancer-cache-configuration, LoadBalancerCacheConfiguration>> section for information on how to configure it.
You can also override the default Caffeine Cache setup for the LoadBalancer by passing your own https://static.javadoc.io/com.github.ben-manes.caffeine/caffeine/2.2.2/com/github/benmanes/caffeine/cache/CaffeineSpec.html[Caffeine Specification]
If you are using Caffeine, you can also override the default Caffeine Cache setup for the LoadBalancer by passing your own https://static.javadoc.io/com.github.ben-manes.caffeine/caffeine/2.2.2/com/github/benmanes/caffeine/cache/CaffeineSpec.html[Caffeine Specification]
in the `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.cache.caffeine.spec` property.

WARN: Passing your own Caffeine specification will override any other LoadBalancerCache settings, including <<loadbalancer-cache-configuration, General LoadBalancer Cache Configuration>> fields, such as `ttl` and `capacity`.
==== Default LoadBalancer Cache Implementation
If you do not have Caffeine in the classpath, the `DefaultLoadBalancerCache`, which comes automatically with `spring-cloud-starter-loadbalancer`, will be used.
See the <<loadbalancer-cache-configuration, LoadBalancerCacheConfiguration>> section for information on how to configure it.
TIP: To use Caffeine instead of the default cache, add the `com.github.ben-manes.caffeine:caffeine` dependency to classpath.

You can also altogether disable loadBalancer caching by setting the value of `spring.cloud.loadbalancer.cache.enabled`
