Metrics tries to initialize the `EventsFinder` to instrumnt it. The `EventsFinder` tries to load the `Event` model, which in turn loads the `User` model.

Loading the `User` model requires Devise to be initialized. So to avoid problems around this, we load devise before loading metrics.

This change the write to accept an options hash to make
it compatible with ActiveSupport::Cache::Store#write
method.

The options hash are not passed to the underlying cache
implementation because RequestStore#write accepts only
a key, valye params.

The Gitlab::Geo::Cache is a utility class that
can be reused outside of the Geo context.

We should avoid putting binary ActiveRecord objects in the cache.
This changes introduces a new cache Gitlab::Geo::Cache that writes
a string containing a JSON representation of the objects to the
cache, and parses the cached value back when requested.

Passing an argument to force an association to reload is now deprecated
