✨ Compression and encryption for the cached search results (#443)

* attempt1

* rough draft

* add features and their optional dependancies

* add encryption and compression error variants

* add  a sample implementation to cache trait

* Update src/cache/cacher.rs

Co-authored-by: neon_arch <mustafadhuleb53@gmail.com>

* adjust comment so feature flag would apply?

* adjust feature flag so it applies?

* formatting

* Update src/cache/cacher.rs

update documentation

Co-authored-by: neon_arch <mustafadhuleb53@gmail.com>

* [features]Add base64 and chacha20 dependencies for compress-cache-results and encrypt-cache-results

* move encryption key and cipher logic to separate sub module

* added cacha20 and cec-results feature

* added cacha20 and cec-results feature

* added compression and encryption helper functions to trait implementations

* added compression and encryption  implementation for inMemoryCache

* base64 is only requried when redis-cache feature is enabled

* add error case for base64 and encryption/compression implementation to redisCache

* Refactor cacher to remove regex dependency

* fmt cache error and cacher

* Update Cargo.toml

disabling the unneeded default-features

* fix unused import warning for mimalloc

* remove deprecated method

* add doc comments for encryption module

* fix known bugs and use cfg-if module

* make cfg-if an optional dependency

* use feature-flag instead of maco lint

* add comment to explain type complexity

* bump app version

* Update src/cache/encryption.rs
