Per-Request Deduplication with React.cache()

Use `React.cache()` for server-side request deduplication. Authentication and database queries benefit most.

**Usage:**

import { cache } from 'react'

export const getCurrentUser = cache(async () => {
  const session = await auth()
  if (!session?.user?.id) return null
  return await db.user.findUnique({
    where: { id: session.user.id }
  })
})

Within a single request, multiple calls to `getCurrentUser()` execute the query only once.
