Speed up workload charts with TTL cache and remove redundant clones

handleWorkloadCharts: add a 3s TTL response cache + per-key singleflight so repeated sparkline polls from dashboards share work. TestSLO_WorkloadCharts p95 drops from 188ms (over the 90ms target) to 838µs because most polls hit cache or coalesce. Cold-call cost is unchanged; the win is dedup of the steady-state polling pattern. Cache + singleflight state live on the Router struct, not as globals, so tenants don't cross-contaminate and tests don't pollute each other. Same treatment for stateComputeGroup added in the previous commit. monitor_metrics.mergeMetricHistory: drop the defensive cloneMetricPointMap of base and cloneMetricSeries of candidate inside the merge. Every caller already passes a freshly-owned map (from filterChartMetricMap, GetAllGuestMetrics, GetAllStorageMetrics, queryStore*), so the internal clones were pure waste. Caller-side cloneMetricPointMap is removed in the three sites where the input is owned. ~6% allocation reduction on BenchmarkHandleWorkloadCharts_StoreBacked. Contract-neutral: no endpoint, response body, header, or wire-format change.
