Zhengchao An ad721bff42 fix(kms): honour the configured metadata cache TTL and metrics switch (#5569)
* fix(kms): honour the configured metadata cache TTL and metrics switch

KmsManager::new built the KmsCache from cache_config.max_keys alone, so
cache_config.ttl was dead configuration: every deployment ran the
hardcoded 300s window whatever the admin configure API was given, while
CacheSummary and the KMS config endpoint reported the configured value
back. cache_config.enable_metrics was never read anywhere.

Build the cache from the whole CacheConfig. The documented default is
reconciled down to the 300s the cache has always used rather than up to
the advertised 3600s, and now lives in one place (DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL)
instead of being duplicated across the four configure-request
converters, so the default path behaves exactly as before.

Behaviour change: a deployment configured through the admin API already
has ttl 3600 persisted, because the old converters wrote that default
into the stored config, so its describe_key staleness window widens from
an effective 300s to the 3600s it asked for. No cryptographic or
authorization path widens - encrypt, decrypt and generate_data_key go
straight to the backend and never read this cache. The Vault Transit
backend's own metadata cache, which does gate crypto through
ensure_key_state_allows, stays fixed at 300s and is now documented as
deliberately not operator-tunable.

The configured duration now reaches moka's builder, which panics above
1000 years, so CacheConfig::effective_ttl clamps to a 24h maximum the
way effective_timeout already clamps its own, and validate rejects a
zero TTL beside the existing max_keys check. Both config summaries and
the KMS config endpoint report the effective value, so the admin API
cannot advertise a lifetime the cache does not honour.

enable_metrics gates publication of the rustfs_kms_metadata_cache_*
families only; the counters behind the admin status API keep running
either way. No configure-request field sets it yet.

* docs(kms): state why the Transit metadata TTL is not bound to the default

The comment claimed the constant matches config::DEFAULT_CACHE_TTL, which
reads as an invariant the code does not enforce. Say plainly that the
equality is a coincidence rather than a contract, and why binding the two
would be wrong: this cache gates crypto through ensure_key_state_allows,
so a later change to the operator-facing describe-cache default must not
be able to widen its staleness window.
