Description
CacheIsolationTestMixin and CacheIsolationTestCase are useful test utilities to clear the Django and Request caches between tests. They are currently in edx-platform, but would be useful as general utilities in edx-django-utils.
There may be some edx-platform specific stuff here that would need to be factored out.

Research direction
Start with openedx/core/djangolib/testing/utils.py in edx-platform and inspect CacheIsolationTestMixin and CacheIsolationTestCase, including their cache-clearing behavior. Identify any edx-platform-specific dependencies that need factoring out before relocating the utilities to edx-django-utils. Done means the general utilities are available there and their existing behavior remains covered by tests.
