Due to #28, duplicate requests to mock_uss instances are occasionally observed. Prior to this PR, such duplicate requests were identified and rejected, but this causes CI to fail when it could actually succeed. This PR introduces a decorator that can be applied to idempotent Flask view handlers to cache responses according to request ID and then return the cached response instead of invoking the underlying handler when a duplicate request is received. This decorator is then applied to idempotent, mutating mock_uss endpoints. The result is that if a mock_uss response is lost (this appears to occasionally be the case in CI), a client retry will receive a response identical to the lost response (as if the client received the initial successful response).
