feat: Adding BaseService::updateServicesCache. Adds ablity to update Services Cache at runtime.

[pyromanci]

Description
Supersedes #8894

I need a different method to load Modules. I wanted to set it up so it was more database driven for enabling or disabling a module. This lead to problems with Services not being auto discovered by the buildServicesCache() function. As the autoloader doesn't know those files exist at the point it time it is called. Which results in any static calls to the any services class or service function would return null. So added a function that will update the service cache with and new Classes discovered since initial build.

Apologizes for previous PR. This contains the code, documentation, change log, code comments, and tests.

How about this?

Suggested change

	There may be times when you need to have Service Discovery refresh it's cache after the inital autoload proccess. This can be done by running :php:meth:`Config\\Services::updateServicesCache()`.
	This will force the service discovery to re-scan the directories for any new services files.
	Updating Services Cache
	=======================
	.. versionadded:: 4.6.0
	When Services is first called fairly early in the framework initialization process,
	the Services classes discovered by auto-discovery is cached in a property.
	If modules are dynamically loaded later, this cache must be updated.
	This can be done by running ``Config\Services::updateServicesCache()``. This will
	force the service discovery to re-scan the directories for any new Services files.

:php:meth:Config\\Services::updateServicesCache() is okay if there is the class reference for the method. But in this case, there is no class reference to link.

Thank you for sending this!
No worry about the previous PR. This PR is quite neat.

I wanted to set it up so it was more database driven for enabling or disabling a module.

Out of curiosity, what is your use case?
Why do you need to manage modules in a database?
What do the modules do?

So I'm currently designing ERP system for a customer of ours. With the project specs they gave. Everything needed to be modular and event driven for interactions between them. This is because they own multiple companies and each one has similar, but different needs and processes flows.

However they also wanted to be able to turn on or off a module at will for the companies. So easiest way I figured I could approach this was to create a service that would determine which modules should get loaded and control their event priorities.

I don't know if this best approach to fit there needs or how much of a impact it will have on the system as whole. So while setting up to do some testing. I decided put a call to this service in the routes file for right now. In the test I just used
service('autoload')->addNamespace('ModuleNameSpace', APPPATH . '../ModulePath');
Which is fine it gets the module namespace discoverable. However if that module had Config/Services file you could not use the service() helper. It would just return null.

After drilling down I saw that classname cache only ever generates once unless you reset. So just figured why not add a "refresh" to look for anything new.

I'm not sure, but isn't it better to just add a method to delete the cache?

[pyromanci]

Sorry, meant to pull the changes in to develop and missed I didn't switch my branch over. Reverted that merge.

If you empty $serviceNames, does that not break all the service functionality? Or are you talking about a different cache?

We don't use git merge in PR branches.
Use git rebase instead.

I mean, just add a method like clearServicesCache() that empties $serviceNames and sets $discovered to false.
