Simon Willison bb59c61c9f Request-scoped permission check cache
Adds a per-request cache for permission check results, plus wiring that
resolves action permissions in bulk before plugin hooks need them:

- New _permission_check_cache contextvar, set to a fresh dict for each
  request by DatasetteRouter and reset when the request ends. Keys
  include the full serialized actor, so actors differing in any field
  (e.g. token restrictions) never share entries. SkipPermissions mode
  bypasses the cache entirely.
- datasette.allowed_many() now consults the cache and stores its
  results there, so repeated datasette.allowed() checks within one
  request resolve without further SQL.
- Table pages resolve all registered table-level actions against the
  current table and all database-level actions against its database
  (database pages likewise) in batched queries before invoking the
  table_actions/database_actions plugin hooks - allowed() calls made
  inside those hooks are then served from the cache with no plugin
  changes required. Actions with no permission rules from any plugin
  are resolved to False without touching the database.

Benchmarks (benchmarks/) with a simulated 12-plugin ecosystem making
18 checks per table page show 34 -> 13 internal-DB queries per page;
with 2ms-per-query internal DB latency (modelling Datasette Cloud)
table page time drops from 77.9ms to 27.6ms - the caching layer
accounts for ~91% of that improvement over allowed_many() alone.
