Wrap getFilesInDirectory (C extension or Tcl fallback) with an in-memory cache keyed by directory path and fetch_dotversion flag. The cache lives for the duration of a single modulecmd process, avoiding redundant directory reads when the same directory is accessed multiple times during module resolution or overlapping search traversals. This reduces NFS round-trips on systems with thousands of modulefiles across deep directory structures. Signed-off-by: zapdos26 <zapdoskid@gmail.com>
Verify that the in-memory getFilesInDirectory cache returns correct results on repeated queries within a single invocation. Tests exercise cache population and cache hit paths. Signed-off-by: zapdos26 <zapdoskid@gmail.com>

This pull request introduces an in-memory cache for directory reads in the
getFilesInDirectoryfunction to optimize performance by avoiding redundant reads during a single module command invocation. Additionally, a new test has been added to verify that the cache returns consistent results for repeated queries.Caching improvements:
getFilesInDirectoryfunction intcl/main.tcl.in, wrapping the original implementation and storing results for repeated directory queries within a single invocation.Testing enhancements:
testsuite/modules.90-avail/025-memcache.expto confirm that consecutiveavailqueries on the same module path return consistent results, validating the effectiveness of the cache.
