[FEATURE] Endpoint to purge cache entries for specific users

[prabhask5]

Description

Finishing previous PR here: #4314

Currently, our system only allows for the invalidation of the entire user authentication cache, which can lead to numerous cache misses and inefficiencies. This change is required to allow for more precise cache management, specifically targeting stale cache entries at the individual user level without disrupting the cache state of other users

Category: New feature
Why these changes are required?
Currently, our system only allows for the invalidation of the entire user authentication cache. This change is required to allow for more precise cache management, specifically targeting stale cache entries at the individual user level without disrupting the cache state of other users.
What is the old behavior before changes and new behavior after changes?
Previously, invalidating a user's cache required clearing the entire cache, affecting all users. The new behavior introduces an endpoint that allows for the invalidation of cache entries on a per-user basis, thereby maintaining cache integrity for other users and reducing unnecessary cache misses.

@cwperks This should be a better PR, I'm not sure why there's integration test errors I don't change them, can you help me out with that? It should be the same test errors as in #4568

[cwperks]

Thank you @prabhask5 ! Looking at the integ test failures now.

@prabhask5 Can you rebase this PR with the latest from main that has a fix for the compilation error?

[cwperks]

@prabhask5 For the issue with FlushCacheApiIntegrationTest.testFlushCache there are 2 problems:

1. In FlushCacheApiAction you need to modify the response message if the param username is non-null. i.e.

if (username != null) {
    LOGGER.debug("Cache invalidated for user: " + username);
    ok(channel, "Cache invalidated for user: " + username);
} else {
    LOGGER.debug("cache flushed successfully");
    ok(channel, "Cache flushed successfully.");
}

You would also need to move the extraction of this param up one level in scope.

2. This line is using the wrong response object. It should be referencing deleteUserCacheResponse instead of deleteAllCacheResponse.
