Rework the Cache system to rely on Symfony Cache

[DarkGhostHunter]

I firmly believe that, now that Laravel 11 has shipped, work should be done to rework the cache system of Laravel 12 to rely on Symfony Cache rather than own implementations, especially on the Redis side of things.

There are some great things about leaning a little more on Symfony Cache.

• Cache Items and Tags are detached. You can store big items in files, and use redis solely for tagging them.
• Stampede prevention with probabilistic early-expiration.
• Custom Marshalling and serialization. That means the dev could sign the serialization to avoid tampering.
• Programmatic prune. For example, the dev can change the probability to prune entries after a cache operation.
• Chained cache stores. Mix and match multiple caches.
• Redis tags adapter.

I honestly don't think the extent of the changes, but I think it would make the cache system easier to maintain.

This is a code sample to get you started if you want to use it now.
And of course, install Symfony cache package first.

// put it in AppServiceProvider for example
$this->app->singleton(\Symfony\Contracts\Cache\TagAwareCacheInterface::class, function () {
    $redisAdapter = new RedisAdapter(
        $this->app->make('redis')
            ->connection(config('cache.stores.redis.connection'))
            ->client()
    );

    return new TagAwareAdapter($redisAdapter);
});

/**
 * @var $cache \Symfony\Contracts\Cache\TagAwareCacheInterface&\Psr\Cache\CacheItemPoolInterface
 */
$cache = app(\Symfony\Contracts\Cache\TagAwareCacheInterface::class);
