[#22858] - Joomla cache prevent ratings votes from being seen

- Build: master
- # 22858
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Turn on caching on a Joomla site.
- Turn on the content ratings feature.
- Now go try to give vote ratings for some of your content. Especially ones that have not previously been rated.
Expected result
When I give a rating for a piece of content, I expect the page to reload and to show me a star rating for that article which takes into account the score I gave it.
Actual result
What actually happens is that the cached version of the page is served, and so I just see the same score as before. If it wasn't rated before, this means that I still see "No ratings yet" even though I also have a message on the page saying thank you for rating this article.
System information (as much as possible)
Tested with an up-to-date Joomla version (3.8.13).
Additional comments
The fix would seem to be to add some code to the ratings feature to make it flush the cache for the current article when a rating is saved.

Hi Franz. I've just re-tested it on the latest version (3.9.3) and yes, the problem remains the same.
@Spudley thanks for test again > @HLeithner can you please comment?
There is a partially implemented Joomla\CMS\Cache\CacheStorage::flush() method, that should probably be exposed through Joomla\CMS\Cache\Cache too.
But that's overkill for this. A vote operation needs to clean the com_content cache group and the cache for relevant modules. Essentially, the frontend article model needs to have the storeVote method call $this->cleanCache() and the extended cleanCache() method from the admin article model copied to the frontend class to ensure all appropriate groups are cleaned.
