Add memoized cache to llama_grammar_reject_candidates_for_stack (LostRuins#1615)

* Add memoized cache to llama_grammar_reject_candidates_for_stack

* make size cutoff more aggressive and move to outer branch

* update comment

* add cache reset whenever grammar is reloaded

* remove explicit reference types for compiler transportability
