Subject: [PATCH] [BUGFIX] Resolve cached URLs through the cache frontend

Since 5.0.1 resolveCachedUrl() reads entries via the backend's own
get(), which returns the HMAC-signed serialization written by the
VariableFrontend instead of the URL. Providers cannot parse a host
from it, so flushByTag()/flushByTags() purged nothing when content
was saved; only flush() worked, as it does not need the URLs.

Keep a reference to the frontend in setCache() and resolve URLs
through it. Plain URLs from rows written before 5.0.0 still work
through the existing fallback.
