drupal_render() should check #cache after #type and #pre_render so that elements can set default cache behaviour

At the moment it is impossible for elements with a #type to set default cache behaviour because #cache is checked before element_info() is called.

This is obviously for speed, we could check #cache a second time after #pre_render, in the same way that we check #printed a second time.

This would allow elements with #type to define default render cache behaviour.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
