Keep private members in member caches as well.
This means we have to do extra work for a nonPrivateMember call
that hits a private member. But that's probably not a very
common case. On the other hand, every regular findMember operation
needs one less scope lookup this way.

Use a full cache instead of an LRU cache. For `typer/*.scala`, this
reduced computed member searches on normal ClassDenotations from 520K to
170K. Cache hit rate improves to 97.5%, from 92.5%. (Without member caching
there are almost 7Mio computed members for the same code base).
The two implementation classes of LinearTable had so much in common that
they could be combined. Since the implementation is now fixed, we can
use the usual mutable interface for a table.
When going from dense to hashed, we should expand by a multiple greater
than two, or we will have to reallocate immediately afterwards.
We get occasional failures of the form

java.lang.AssertionError: assertion failed: asTerm called on not-a-Term val <none> while compiling tests/pos/projections.scala
Fatal compiler crash when compiling: tests/pos/projections.scala:
assertion failed: asTerm called on not-a-Term val <none>
dotty.DottyPredef$.assertFail(DottyPredef.scala:17)
dotty.tools.dotc.core.Symbols$Symbol.asTerm(Symbols.scala:156)

when compiling pos/projections.scala with FromTasty tests.

It was first observed when we parallelized position pickling, so it might have something to do with that.
NoDenotation is a frequent result, so we should keep post processing
it as simple as possible.

As a side effect this now forces less, which makes some previously failing tests
pass. I updated i3253.scala so that it fails again and moved i9052 to pos.

myMemberCache is not copied when we create a new ClassDenotation from an existing one (See copyCaches). I assume that is OK, as when we copy a ClassDenotation, usually its member cache becomes invalid.

Yes, not copying member caches is intentional since then we do not have to worry about validity.
