Subject: [PATCH] feat(gitignore): add caching to `gi` completion

Adds a cache policy for the `gi` command completion function, i.e.
`_gitignoreio`. Previously, every completion call would request the list
endpoint of gitignore.io over the network, resulting in a delay between
pressing <Tab> and the autocomplete options showing up.

Since we don't expect the gitignore.io templates to change that
frequently, configured the cache policy to expire after 7 days.

Fixes #13736
