Add a memcached option to keys. When enabled, it allows for caching of signatures in case the same file gets signed multiple times. Signed-off-by: Leonhard Oelke <[email protected]>
When caching for a key is enabled, this will add an additional property to the audit message to show if the signature was fetched from cache. Signed-off-by: Leonhard Oelke <[email protected]>

Should i mention that the cache should be cleared after changing the key configuration?

I'm making the following assumptions here:
- If the key configuration changes for the named key, the user should clear the cache
- Digests from different Hashing-Algorithms will not collide

These patches add the option to cache the signatures generated by keys. We implemented this, because our internal processes are not ... optimal, and thus some binaries are getting signed repeatedly in CI/CD without changing.
Since we pay per signature, this will hopefully help us (and others in the same situation) to save some money.
I added the memcache option to individual keys instead of the key section or anywhere else because:
Since i was not sure if you would want to add the feature, i did not spend time on prometheus metrics. If you are interested in merging this, i can add those as well.
