This addresses a potential race condition I discovered while working on another task. If a rule instance with a new rule type is added to a profile after the rule type cache is populated, but before the profiles and rule instances are queried, the evaluation will fail because the new rule type will be missing from the cache.
This changes the logic to query for rule types which are not found in the cache, and create a new rule type engine instance and cache it if we get a result.
Alternatives Considered
I could simplify this to remove the pre-population and query the database for each rule type when we encounter it first. This would simplify the logic, but at the expense of throwing away the performance gains from loading most of the rules we need in one query.
