4.x: Cache/Replay operators to be more GC friendly #7912

Description

@akarnokd

⚠️ Due to the unexpectedly long time this issue was up, we require you to target 4.x first and we'll see if it is worth backporting it to an earlier version.

The current implementations of the various cache and replay operators and hot sources can hold onto effectively unreachable elements longer than necessary, causing GC pressure with certain collectors.

The following operators need to be checked and updated.

  • ObservableCache
  • FlowableCache
  • ObservableReplay
  • FlowableReplay
  • ReplaySubject
  • ReplayProcessor
