[v15] Cache Kubernetes App Discovery port check results (#50341)

* Cache Kubernetes App Discovery port check results

For the K8S Services that we couldn't auto detect the protocol, after
trying to infer the port, cache the result.
Cache is evicted when the K8S Service changes (we check the Service's
ResourceVersion).

* add mutex to cached responses

* fix flaky test when hitting the HTTPS server
