Move memory accounting Asserts for Result Cache code
In 9eacee2e6, I included some code to verify the cache's memory tracking
is correct by counting up the number of entries and the memory they use
each time we evict something from the cache. Those values are then
compared to the expected values using Assert. The problem is that this
requires looping over the entire cache hash table each time we evict an
entry from the cache. That can be pretty expensive, as noted by Pavel
Stehule.
Here we move this memory accounting checking code so that we only verify
it on cassert builds once when shutting down the Result Cache node.
Aside from the performance increase, this has two distinct advantages:
1) We do the memory checks at the last possible moment before destroying
the cache. This means we'll now catch accounting problems that might
sneak in after a cache eviction.
2) We now do the memory Assert checks when there were no cache evictions.
This increases the coverage.
One small disadvantage is that we'll now miss any memory tracking issues
that somehow managed to resolve themselves by the end of execution.
However, it seems to me that such a memory tracking problem would be quite
unlikely, and likely somewhat less harmful if one were to exist.
In passing, adjust the loop over the hash table to use the standard
simplehash.h method of iteration.
