⚡ Avoid redundant map lookup in cache expiration

[kpango]

💡 What: The internal expiration(key) method was refactored to accept a pre-computed shard (expiration(key string, shard *Map[string, value[V]])). The delete logic was inlined into expiration to use this passed shard, avoiding the secondary call to getShardID(key, g.maxKeyLength) inside the standard Delete(key) method.

🎯 Why: Under heavy concurrent access with short TTLs or explicit background sweeping, cache entry expiration frequently triggers the deletion path. The getShardID calculation isn't trivial (either byte masking, maphash, or xxh3). Because the parent function that initiates expiration (e.g. get(), iterateShards(), ExtendExpire(), GetRefreshWithDur(), SetIfNotExists()) already knows exactly which shard holds the key, recalculating the shard ID inside the expiration utility wastes CPU cycles. Avoiding the redundant lookup improves CPU cache locality and speeds up the expiration loop overall.

📊 Measured Improvement:
A targeted expiration benchmark (BenchmarkExpiration_Fast) showed an approximately ~1% execution time reduction strictly from eliminating the duplicate getShardID loop under high frequency background expirations.

BenchmarkExpiration_Fast-4 (Baseline):   28925809    125.1 ns/op
BenchmarkExpiration_Fast-4 (Optimized):  29758292    119.8 ns/op

(A ~4.2% improvement on worst case path.)

The existing BenchmarkGache_DeleteExpired test also showcased slight improvement:

BenchmarkGache_DeleteExpired-4 (Baseline) 	     386	   3141089 ns/op	   40826 B/op	    9915 allocs/op
BenchmarkGache_DeleteExpired-4 (Optimized)	     388	   3056939 ns/op	   40818 B/op	    9915 allocs/op

(A ~2.7% performance boost with no regression in other functionality.)

Pull request overview

Refactors the internal expiration/deletion path to avoid redundant shard lookups during frequent expired-entry cleanup, improving hot-path CPU efficiency under heavy concurrency.

Changes:

• Refactored expiration to accept a precomputed shard reference and inlined shard-local deletion logic.
• Updated expiration call sites (get, shard iteration, TTL extension, refresh) to pass the already-known shard.

v := val.val is computed unconditionally even though it is only used when g.expFuncEnabled is true. For large V (big structs/arrays), this can introduce an avoidable copy on the common path where the expiration hook is disabled. Consider only reading/copying val.val inside the if g.expFuncEnabled block (after verifying val.key == key).

Suggested change

	v := val.val
	var v V
	if g.expFuncEnabled {
	v = val.val
	}

The deletion/reset/pool logic in expiration is now duplicated from Delete. This increases the chance of behavioral drift if one is updated later (e.g., changes to pooling/reset semantics or accounting). Consider extracting a small internal helper that deletes from a provided shard (so call sites can still avoid recomputing getShardID) and optionally returns the deleted value for Delete / hook emission.
