- Implement Redis hashes on the caching service, based on Micha's work
in #7747, adapted from `node-cache-manager-ioredis-yet`. Optimize
workflow ownership lookups and manual webhook lookups with Redis hashes.
- Simplify the caching service by removing all currently unused methods
and options: `enable`, `disable`, `getCache`, `keys`, `keyValues`,
`refreshFunctionEach`, `refreshFunctionMany`, `refreshTtl`, etc.
- Remove the flag `N8N_CACHE_ENABLED`. Currently some features on
`master` are broken with caching disabled, and test webhooks now rely
entirely on caching, for multi-main setup support. We originally
introduced this flag to protect against excessive memory usage, but
total cache usage is low enough that we decided to drop this setting.
Apparently this flag was also never documented.
- Overall caching service refactor: use generics, reduce branching, add
discriminants for cache kinds for better type safety, type caching
events, improve readability, remove outdated docs, etc. Also refactor
and expand caching service tests.

Add generic N8N_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT which controls how long n8n
process will wait for graceful exit before exitting forcefully. This
variables replaces the QUEUE_WORKER_TIMEOUT variable that was used for
worker process.
DEPRECATED: QUEUE_WORKER_TIMEOUT deprected
QUEUE_WORKER_TIMEOUT environment variable has been replaced with
N8N_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT.
If the process doesn't shutdown within a time limit, exit with error
code.
1. conceptually something timing out is an error.
2. on successful exit we close down the DB connection gracefully. On an
exit timeout we rather not do that, since it will wait for any active
connections to close and would possible block the exit.
## Summary
Hashicorp Vault prefers a `LIST` HTTP method to be used when fetching
secrets but not all environments will allow custom http methods through
WAFs. This PR adds `N8N_EXTERNAL_SECRETS_PREFER_GET` which when set to
`true` will use GET instead of LIST to fetch secrets.
