Reject fractional per-entry TTLs.

lru-cache@11.2.7 defines TTL milliseconds as integers. Line 4 forwards fractional values outside that contract.

Use Number.isInteger(ttl) and add a fractional-TTL regression test.

In `@src/Adapters/Cache/LRUCache.js` at line 4, Update isValidTTL to accept only
positive finite integers by replacing the numeric validation with
Number.isInteger(ttl). Add a regression test covering rejection of fractional
per-entry TTL values.
