Trellix GTI cache

The file reputation is cached locally after the first query to avoid multiple network lookups for the same file. The cache entries are invalidated based on their confidence and associated Time to Live (TTL).

The definition of TTL is based on the performance trade-off. The performance trade-off varies from 1 (low) to 5 (high).
