Decouple the merge/normalization and conditional cache control logic
The prior logic was trying to do too many things at once. For all responses,
we want to perform two distinct steps:

* Merge/normalize the `Cache-Control` values found in HTTP headers and those
  found in the `@cache_control` hash.
* Conditionally set a default `Cache-Control` header value when we have an ETag

This change separates these concerns since the merge/normalize step should
occur for all responses, but the second should only occur when we have already
set an ETag/last modified value. Normally ETag middleware will set a default
`Cache-Control`, but only if an existing ETag is not already set. So, in the
cases where an ETag is set, we need to set the default `Cache-Control` value
ourselves.

= Action Pack -- From request to response

Action Pack is a framework for handling and responding to web requests. It
provides mechanisms for *routing* (mapping request URLs to actions), defining
*controllers* that implement actions, and generating responses by rendering
*views*, which are templates of various formats. In short, Action Pack
provides the view and controller layers in the MVC paradigm.

It consists of several modules:

* Action Dispatch, which parses information about the web request, handles
  routing as defined by the user, and does advanced processing related to HTTP
  such as MIME-type negotiation, decoding parameters in POST, PATCH, or PUT bodies,
  handling HTTP caching logic, cookies and sessions.

* Action Controller, which provides a base controller class that can be
  subclassed to implement filters and actions to handle requests. The result
  of an action is typically content generated from views.

With the Ruby on Rails framework, users only directly interface with the
Action Controller module. Necessary Action Dispatch functionality is activated
by default and Action View rendering is implicitly triggered by Action
Controller. However, these modules are designed to function on their own and
can be used outside of Rails.
