The owner short-circuit in PgAclEngine::check ran a PK query
(SELECT user_id FROM storage.folders/files WHERE id=$1) on every authorization
check of a folder/file — the common case, since users mostly act on their own
resources. Memoise it in an owner_cache (moka, TTL 300s, 100k cap). The owner
column is immutable, so this is safe: the cache maps resource -> real owner and
can never grant a non-owner access (a different caller's owner==uid test fails
against the cached owner and falls through to grants); a hard-deleted resource
that briefly resolves to its former owner simply fails later at execution with
NotFound. The per-check sql_queries counter now increments only on a miss.
Removes 1 DB query + 1 pool-connection acquisition per owner check. Magnitude is
deployment-specific (query latency x whether the pool is contended); see
benches/ACL-OWNER-CACHE.md.
Also adds two DB perf-investigation harnesses, gated behind the `bench` feature
(need the dev Postgres; zero prod impact):
- examples/bench_db_pool.rs + benches/DB-POOL.md — pool size vs tail latency
- examples/bench_owner_cache.rs + benches/ACL-OWNER-CACHE.md — owner query vs cache
