reverseproxy: Add ability to clear dynamic upstreams cache during retries (#7662)

* reverseproxy: Add ability to clear dynamic upstreams cache during retries

This is an optional interface for dynamic upstream modules to implement if they cache results.

TODO: More documentation; this is an experiment.

* Add some godoc

* Export interface; update godoc
