Erik JohnstonandClaude Fable 5.1 368465b323 Cache the chain cover index on the Rust state resolution handler
With the event cache warm, the chain cover queries were what was left of
the database work in a resolution: the position of every event in the
state sets, and the links out of every chain they are on. Both can be
cached.

A chain position never changes once assigned, so it is cached before
the transaction commits, and dropped with the event in case the event is
purged and received again. The links out of a chain only grow, at the
end: an event appended at sequence number n adds links out of (chain, n)
and changes nothing below. So links read while the chain was known to
reach n are complete for every walk that starts at or below n, and the
cache keeps that bound with them. A walk that needs a chain beyond its
bound refetches it. Both caches go on a room purge, which deletes the
room's chains and links.

The chain cover walk now gathers links first (from the cache, following
the links a backwards walk would follow so reached chains are gathered
too, and from the database for the rest) and then walks them once. The
Python walks each batch of its recursive query as it arrives, but a batch
is closed under reachability, so walking the union comes to the same
thing. Fetching only what a sequence-aware walk reaches, rather than the
full reachability closure, leaves the auth difference and the v2.1
conflicted subgraph unchanged: any forwards path that ends inside a
backwards-reachable range runs through chains the backwards walks
reached, below their bounds. The trial comparison against the Python
runs every case through a handler's caches too.

The three store-side caches are bundled as StateResCaches, so the store
and the invalidation hooks treat them as one. The integer-keyed maps in
the chain cover code and the interner use FxHash, and the reverse
position map is one flat map, which together are worth 2 ms on the warm
path of the benchmark. The stats gained the cache hit counts and
timings for the auth chain difference, event loading and the
connection.

On the benchmark room (2,000 members, 1,000 conflicted events) a warm
resolution runs no chain queries and takes 14 to 20 ms end to end, from
27 to 32 with the event cache alone; Python warm is 38 to 41.
