Improve performance of random panels

[BentiGorlich]

• Random entries, posts and magazines now utilize cached user- and magazine-blocks
• the active user component is no longer locale specific -> fewer cache misses
• improve the code for the active user fetch so that
  • the DB is doing more of the heavy lifting
  • avoid doing unnecessary queries (previously we always fetched 3 times from the DB now only 2: fill cache with ids, query users by ids)
• Move the code to get cached user specific things to the sql helpers, so more repositories can utilize it without risking circular dependencies

Did you run these changes on an instance used regularly (or on a dev instance where you checked touched features)? While I don't see an obvious error in the code, as the changes are somewhat large I would feel safer if it was tested in reality-like conditions.

It has been running on gehirneimer for a few days I think (you can check in git log)

If there were no issues on gehirneimer so far, you will get the approval after fixing the merge conflict :)
