[Profiling] Add APIs to clear frame and executable caches (#145499)

This PR adds two endpoints to clear each respective cache:

* `DELETE {BASE_KIBANA_PATH}/api/profiling/v1/cache/executables`
* `DELETE {BASE_KIBANA_PATH}/api/profiling/v1/cache/stackframes`

Related to https://github.com/elastic/prodfiler/issues/2759

#### Design choices

1. The `DELETE` method was chosen instead of `PUT` or `POST` since the
given semantics of `DELETE` matches the expected behavior for the
related issue.
2. Each endpoint will remove all items from the respective cache. A
separate API for each cache allows us to selectively clear the necessary
cache without the downsides of a catch-all endpoint to clear all caches.
This gives us the flexibility to add more endpoints if needed. Given the
tradeoff between complexity now or later, it was decided to implement
general invalidation now with the option to invalidate specific items
later.
3. The RESTful design allows us to clear specific items later (e.g.
`DELETE {BASE_KIBANA_PATH}/api/profiling/v1/cache/executables/{ID}`
could clear only executable `ID` from the cache).
4. Each endpoint returns an empty payload on success. However, the
Kibana logs reflect the actions taken and how many cache items were
affected.
5. The stacktrace cache was ignored since it was not affected by symbols
written to Elasticsearch.
6. Each endpoint is not directly accessible from UI since it is expected
that the endpoints will be called outside of Kibana. However, the
endpoints can be called manually from the browser's console.
