fix: Improve quorum caching (again) (#5761)

## Issue being fixed or feature implemented
1. `scanQuorumsCache` is a special one and we use it incorrectly.
2. Platform doesn't really use anything that calls `ScanQuorums()`
directly, they specify the exact quorum hash in RPCs so it's
`GetQuorum()` that is used instead. The only place `ScanQuorums()` is
used for Platform related stuff is `StartCleanupOldQuorumDataThread()`
because we want to preserve quorum data used by `GetQuorum()`. But this
can be optimised with its own (much more compact) cache.
3. RPCs that use `ScanQuorums()` should in most cases be ok with smaller
cache, for other use cases there is a note in help text now.

## What was done?
pls see individual commits

## How Has This Been Tested?
run tests, run a node (~in progress~ looks stable)
