Use cache in org-up-heading-safe

* lisp/org.el (org-up-heading-safe): Use buffer-local cache to store
positions of parent headings.  The cache is invalidated when buffer
text is changed, according to `buffer-chars-modified-tick'.
(org--up-heading-cache):  Buffer-local hash-table storing the cache.
(org--up-heading-cache-tick):  The buffer modification state for
currently active `org--up-heading-cache'.

The optimisation is critical when running agenda or org-entry-get
queries using property/tag inheritance.  In such scenarios
`org-up-heading-safe' can be called thousands of times.  For example,
building todo agenda on large number of headings lead to the following
benchmark results:

Benchmark:

1. (elp-instrument-function #'org-up-heading-safe)
2. Run agenda
3. (elp-results) ;; function, # calls, total time, avg time

Without cache:
org-up-heading-safe  27555       8.4234025759  0.0003056941

With cache, first run:
org-up-heading-safe  23227       0.5300747539  2.282...e-05

With cache, second run on unchanged buffer:
org-up-heading-safe  23227       0.1447754880  6.233...e-06

The final speedup is 1-2 orders of magnitude (~15-56 times).
