common: fix three bugs in the timeline cache

1. Double-check locking (TOCTOU)
   GetTimeline dropped the read lock, then acquired the write lock to
   fetch fresh data, but never re-checked the cache after the write lock
   was acquired.  A second goroutine could pass the stale-check under the
   read lock at the same time, resulting in both goroutines fetching the
   full timeline independently and overwriting each other's result.  Add
   a re-check immediately after acquiring the write lock so only the
   first writer fetches.

2. LastCachedTime used the wrong item
   The incremental fetch used data[0].Updated as the high-water mark for
   the Since filter, but data is sorted in descending Created order so
   data[0] is the most-recently-created entry, whose Updated timestamp
   may not be the latest across all cached items.  Switch to a linear
   scan over all items to find the true maximum Updated value, matching
   the fix in origin/fix/timeline-cache-race.

3. Cache not invalidated after RequestReviews / UnrequestReview
   After the bot called RequestReviews or UnrequestReview, the timeline
   cache for that PR was left hot for up to 5 seconds.  Any subsequent
   GetTimeline call within that window returned stale data that did not
   include the just-created review_requested / review_request_removed
   entry, causing FindMissingAndExtraReviewers to make decisions based on
   outdated reviewer state.  Call ResetTimelineCache on success in both
   methods so the next read always sees the mutation.
