Implement caching duration setting

User story

As a real estate agent managing a dynamic and frequently updated website, I find the current caching period of 1 hour in the onOffice for WP-Websites Plugin restrictive. To adapt to varying update frequencies and ensure that the latest property information is consistently reflected on my website, I require the ability to customize the caching duration according to my specific needs.

The onOffice plugin currently imposes a fixed caching of 1 hour, meaining that property information is refreshed at set intervals unless the cache is manually cleared. However, this might not align with the updated frequency of property data in my property portfolio. To address this limitation, I propose the introduction of a customizable cache duration feature that allows me to set the caching period to a time frame that suits the dynamics of my property listings.

Tasks

• [x] Enhance the plugin settings interface to include an option for configuring the caching duration. (See screenshot below)
• [x] Integrate the feature into the backend in the settings of the onOffice plugin. 10min, 30min, 1h (this should still be the default), 6h, 12h, 24h.
• [x] Integrate a information text explaining the cache / cache duration. See below.

DE: Der Wert Cache-Laufzeit bestimmt, nach welchem Zeitraum der Plugin-Cache deiner Seite neu befüllt wird. Dieser Wert steht standardmäßig auf 1 Stunde.

EN: The Cache duration value determines the period of time after which the plugin cache of your page is refreshed. This value is set to 1 hour by default.

By providing the option to customize the caching duration, the onOffice for WP-Websites Plugin can offer real estate agents greater flexibility and control over how frequently property information is updated on their websites. This customization ensures that the plugin accomodates a variety of use cases and aligns with the diverse needs of real estate professionales.
