Transient Cache extension

[billerickson]

Some users will build very complex queries involving multiple taxonomy and meta queries. These can be computationally expensive to run, and running the query on every uncached pageload is not necessary.

A transient cache extension would allow content editors to specify a transient key and expiration. Ex:

[display-posts transient_key="be_recent_posts" transient_expiration="DAY_IN_SECONDS"]

To implement this, we'll need to add an early output filter before Display Posts runs the query. The current output filter applies to individual posts in the listing. We need an output filter for the ENTIRE output of the shortcode.
