Dan Duvall 9fb695d75c Refactor cache TTL for SettingsBuilder sources
Move cache TTL from `CachedSource` into the `CacheableSource` interface,
allowing each source to define a TTL most appropriate to its own
settings loading implementation.

Fix bug where `generation` time was computed incorrectly by `CachedSource`.

Include tests to exercise all `CachedSource` interactions with
`CacheInterface` and `CacheableSource`.

* Increasing this value will cause the random early election to happen by
* a larger margin of lead time before normal expiry, relative to the
* cache value's generation duration. Conversely, returning a lesser value
* will narrow the margin of lead time, making the cache hold items for
* slightly longer but with more likelihood that concurrent regenerations
* and set overwrites will occur. Returning <code>0</code> will
* effectively disable early expiration, and by extension disable stampede
* mitigation altogether.
*
* A greater value may be suitable if a source has a highly variable
* generation duration, but most implementations should simply return
* <code>1.0</code>.
