Dialogue ChannelCache uses weak values to allow collection of old data

[carterkozak]

Before this PR

The inclusion of resolved IP addresses in channels caused the cache to become full over time, when hosts are rotated naturally over time. This behavior is desirable, because we're able to account for individual nodes/routes in dialogue node selection, however the channel cache didn't have a way to forget old targets.

Possible downsides?

It's possible that creation of a single client in a loop will re-create the same data, and allow it to be collected, re-running the same work more than we'd like. This is unlikely, as clients are generally created and held via strong references, and hot re-creation of channels is an anti-pattern.

What do the change types mean?

• feature: A new feature of the service.
• improvement: An incremental improvement in the functionality or operation of the service.
• fix: Remedies the incorrect behaviour of a component of the service in a backwards-compatible way.
• break: Has the potential to break consumers of this service's API, inclusive of both Palantir services
  and external consumers of the service's API (e.g. customer-written software or integrations).
• deprecation: Advertises the intention to remove service functionality without any change to the
  operation of the service itself.
• manualTask: Requires the possibility of manual intervention (running a script, eyeballing configuration,
  performing database surgery, ...) at the time of upgrade for it to succeed.
• migration: A fully automatic upgrade migration task with no engineer input required.

Note: only one type should be chosen.

How are new versions calculated?

• ❗The break and manual task changelog types will result in a major release!
• 🐛 The fix changelog type will result in a minor release in most cases, and a patch release version for patch branches. This behaviour is configurable in autorelease.
• ✨ All others will result in a minor version release.
