Facter 4 should not clear cache between multiple runs from the same context

Issue Type:	Bug

Priority:	Normal
Reporter:	Bogdan Irimie

facterversion: 3.11.9

uptime=> {"days"=>24, "hours"=>578, "seconds"=>2082041, "uptime"=>"24 days"}

sleep 10

uptime=> {"days"=>24, "hours"=>578, "seconds"=>2082041, "uptime"=>"24 days"}

facterversion: 4.0.39

uptime=> {"hours"=>578, "seconds"=>2084054, "uptime"=>"24 days", "days"=>24}

sleep 10

uptime=> {"hours"=>578, "seconds"=>2084064, "uptime"=>"24 days", "days"=>24}

We should probably remove `SessionCache.invalidate_all_caches` from `facter.rb`
