🐛 fixes cache issue in web-server services i/o model

[pcrespov]

What do these changes do?

During manual testing on the master deployment, specifically with PR #6169, we identified that the caching mechanism for the services listing is failing due to issues with async concurrency. This problem causes the entire service call to fail.

Changes in This PR

• Replaces Sync Caching with Async Caching:
  • The existing synchronous caching implementation using cachetools has been replaced with an asynchronous caching solution using aiocache to better handle concurrent calls.
  • This change eliminates the need for asyncio.thread, simplifying the implementation.
  • The cachetools dependency has been removed from the project.
• Improves Error Handling:
  • Previously, a failure in the cache would lead to a 500 error because the cache error resulted in an invalid model (e.g., some fields in the input were correct while others were not, due to the failure).
  • The updated implementation ensures that the model is not modified until all I/O fields have been properly validated, thus preventing the propagation of incomplete or invalid data and improving the stability of the service.
