Description
This issue has been migrated from [#16275](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/16275).
---
This was added in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/16117 and https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/16125 (note this needed the fix in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/16216).
Reverted in https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/16258 due it being broken.
We should reintroduce these PRs (with fixes) once we have some CI for OIDC.

Research direction
Start by reviewing PRs #16117, #16125, #16216, and the reverting PR #16258 to understand the broken token-cache implementation and required fixes. Then identify the OIDC CI coverage needed; done means the cache is safely reintroduced and exercised by CI.
