feat: Add cache encryption and memory backend support

Implements cache encryption and configurable memory backend as part of
DeltaGlider v5.0.3 security enhancements.

Features:
- EncryptedCache wrapper using Fernet (AES-128-CBC + HMAC)
- Ephemeral encryption keys per process for forward secrecy
- Optional persistent keys via DG_CACHE_ENCRYPTION_KEY env var
- MemoryCache adapter with LRU eviction and configurable size limits
- Configurable cache backend via DG_CACHE_BACKEND (filesystem/memory)
- Encryption enabled by default with opt-out via DG_CACHE_ENCRYPTION=false

Security:
- Data encrypted at rest with authenticated encryption (HMAC)
- Ephemeral keys provide forward secrecy and process isolation
- SHA256 plaintext mapping maintains CAS compatibility
- Zero-knowledge architecture: encryption keys never leave process

Performance:
- Memory cache: zero I/O, perfect for CI/CD pipelines
- LRU eviction prevents memory exhaustion
- ~10-15% encryption overhead, configurable via env vars

Testing:
- Comprehensive encryption test suite (13 tests)
- Memory cache test suite (10 tests)
- All 119 tests passing with encryption enabled

Documentation:
- Updated CLAUDE.md with encryption and cache backend details
- Environment variables documented
- Security notes and performance considerations

Dependencies:
- Added cryptography>=42.0.0 for Fernet encryption
