This patchset replaces permissions cache based on loading_cache with a new unified (permissions and roles), full, coherent auth cache.
Reason for the change is that we want to improve scenarios under stress and simplify operation manuals. New cache doesn't require any tweaking. And it behaves particularly better in scenarios with lots of schema entities (e.g. tables) combined with unprepared queries. Old cache can generate few thousands of extra internal tps due to cache refresh.
Benchmark of unprepared statements (just to populate the cache) with 1000 tables shows 3k tps of internal reads reduction and 9.1% reduction of median instructions per op. So many tables were used to show resource impact, cache could be filled with other resource types to show the same improvement.
Backport: no, it's a new feature.
