What this PR does / why we need it:
In core datasources at least we have a memory leak where we are always creating a new datasource instance. Currently we are using the ProxyHash() which takes the last 4 characters from the pdc key and uses it as a hash.
However, this is not working because each time we do a request we fetch the config from Cloud config, and then if the config is not cached get the new config, from the hosted grafana instance. The hosted grafana instance always generates a new key / cert so the new config is always different so the cache key is never consistent.
I checked the caches on cloud config and they only cache for 5 seconds as a way to reducing the load on hosted grafana, not as a reliable cache. If we put this cache too high it will take at least the expiry time of the cache for new datasource configurations to trickle through without some other way to invalidate it.
We could also cache the keys / value in the hosted grafana instance but It seems like a less attractive option considering the whole MT migration.
