feat(cache): add caching support for jailbreak detection

Extends the LLM caching system to support jailbreak detection. The
jailbreak detection action now caches results with metadata, properly
tracks call information for tracing, and includes a fix to skip
unnecessary LLM initialization for jailbreak detection models in the
Rails configuration.

  Changes

  - Added caching support to jailbreak_detection_model() with cache
hit/miss logic
  - Implemented LLM call info tracking for jailbreak detection
(duration, timestamps, cache status)
  - Added processing log integration for tracing jailbreak detection
calls
  - Modified LLMRails to skip LLM initialization for jailbreak_detection
type models
  - Comprehensive test coverage including cache hits, misses, and model
initialization behavior
  - Tests verify that jailbreak detection models with cache configs are
registered correctly
