Cache epics count in sidebar at the group level [RUN ALL RSPEC] [RUN AS-IF-FOSS]

What does this MR do?

Related to #299540 (closed)

Similarly to the work done for issues and MRs, and for performance reasons, in this MR we implement caching the epic count in the sidebar at a group level. This value will be cached with the following conditions:

  • The total count will be cached only if it's over the threshold value (currently 1000).
  • The cache will expire after 24 hours.
  • To reflect that any count over the threshold value is "imprecise" they will be truncated by thousands. For example, 2350 -> 2.3k, 14300 -> 14.3k, 112560 -> 112.6k.

This change is behind the FF cached_sidebar_open_epics_count , enabled by default.
