Caching should be avoided by leveraging lookups and different model types

[corranrogue9]

Where caching cannot be avoided, it should be exposed through dependency injection and a standardized interface

[corranrogue9]

There might be refactoring that can be done around the model's internal representation to avoid some caching in the first place.

I am adding context from one of our investigations meetings to each of the EDM related work items. Please keep these scenarios in mind when investigating this work item:

It has been suggested (by myself) that removing the EDM interfaces and replacing them with concrete types where appropriate would be a good idea. 2 existing scenarios were enumerated for why the interfaces are necessary, 1 existing scenario was enumerated for why the interfaces are helpful (but not strictly necessary), 1 known future scenario was enumerated for why the interaces continue to be necessary, and 1 potential future scenario was enumerate for why the interfaces provide existensibility that wouldn't be available with concrete types.

Existing necessary scenarios

1. The interfaces are used today for mocking in unit tests
2. The interfaces could be used by customers to provide custom implementations for each type

Existing helpful scenarios

1. It is helpful to have a read-only view into the EDM models

Known future scenario

1. We want to allow customers to update their models after, for example, the model has been read from a CSDL file. The interfaces being a read-only view give the option for the concrete types to be used for post-read modifications, with the interfaces being used once those modifications are complete.

Potential future scenario

1. There is a potential scenario where the full model being loaded into memory is not necessary for a customer. With the current structure of the IEdmModel interface, this means that, if all other EDM types were concrete types, then any instance of IEdmModel would necessarily need to load portions of the model into memory even if those portions aren't used. A new implementation of non-model EDM interfaces would allow for this even though the concrete types would not.
