The cache we are using for fielddata reclaims memory lazily/asynchronously. While this
helps with throughput this is an issue when a clear operation is issued manually since
memory is not reclaimed immediately. Since our clear methods already perform in linear
time anyway, this commit changes the fielddata cache to reclaim memory synchronously
when a clear command is issued manually. However, it remains lazy in case cache entries
are invalidated because segments or readers are closed, which is important since such
events happen all the time.
