Add memoize: true option for per-instance caching

[agrberg]

Summary

• Adds a memoize: true option to cacheable that stores deserialized values directly on the instance, skipping the cache adapter on repeated calls
• Memoized values are keyed by cache key (matching adapter identity semantics) and cleared automatically by clear_*_cache
• Zero overhead when memoize is not used — the feature is fully opt-in

Closes #15

Context

When using a serializing cache backend (Redis, Memcached), every call to a cached method pays the deserialization cost via Marshal.load. For expensive objects like ActiveRecord models, this becomes a bottleneck when the same method is called repeatedly within a single request. With memoize: true, the first call fetches from the adapter as usual, but subsequent calls on the same instance return the already-deserialized object directly.

Test plan

• All 73 existing + new tests pass (bundle exec rspec)
• RuboCop clean (bundle exec rubocop)
• Example script runs and demonstrates adapter hit difference (bundle exec ruby examples/memoize_example.rb)
• Verify behavior with a real serializing adapter (e.g., Rails.cache backed by Redis)

Pull request overview

Adds an opt-in memoize: true mode to cacheable to avoid repeated cache-adapter fetch/deserialization by storing the deserialized result on the receiver (instance or class object) for the lifetime of that receiver.

Changes:

• Add per-receiver memoization to generated cacheable methods, keyed by computed cache key.
• Add a Cacheable::MEMOIZE_NOT_SET sentinel to correctly memoize nil/false.
• Add RSpec coverage, README documentation, and an example script demonstrating reduced adapter hits.
