Refactor caching and memory management components

- Updated the caching logic to utilize a predictive cache warmer, enhancing content prefetching based on access patterns.
- Replaced the legacy warming system with a more efficient predictive approach, allowing for better performance and resource management.
- Refactored memory management to integrate dynamic cache size adjustments based on system memory usage, improving overall efficiency.
- Simplified the VFS interface and improved concurrency handling with sharded locks for better performance in multi-threaded environments.
- Enhanced tests to validate the new caching and memory management behaviors, ensuring reliability and performance improvements.
