Refactor TrendingProjectsFinder to support caching
== Public Projects

This finder class now _only_ returns public projects. Previously this
finder would also return private and internal projects. Including these
projects makes caching data much harder and less efficient. Meanwhile
including this data isn't very useful as very few users would be
interested in seeing projects they have access to as trending. That is,
the feature is more useful when you want to see what _other_ popular
projects there are.

== Caching

The data returned by TrendingProjectsFinder is now cached for a day
based on the number of months the data should be restricted to. The
cache is not flushed explicitly, instead it's rebuilt whenever it
expires.

== Timings

To measure the impact I changed the finder code to use the last 24
months instead of the last month. I then executed and measured 10
requests to the explore page. On the current "master" branch (commit
88fa5916ff) this would take an average of
2.43 seconds. Using the changes of this commit this was reduced to
around 1.7 seconds.

Finders

This type of classes responsible for collection items based on different conditions. To prevent lookup methods in models like this:

class Project
  def issues_for_user_filtered_by(user, filter)
    # A lot of logic not related to project model itself
  end
end

issues = project.issues_for_user_filtered_by(user, params)

Better use this:

issues = IssuesFinder.new(project, user, filter).execute

It will help keep models thiner.
