📝 Original Issue Description

  Issue task:
  Description 

Currently, the three system checks for caches are individual functions ​in ​django.core.checks.caches. But two of them relate only to FileBasedCache, yet still run regardless of which backends are used. This structure causes some issues:

FileBasedCache and its dependencies are imported even when not used.
Some waste in check_cache_location_not_exposed() when no FileBasedCache is configured, which resolves some paths before checking against caches.
The code structure is a bit messy with repeated loops and isinstance(cache, FileBasedCache) conditions.
I propose restructuring these checks to live within the cache backend classes in django.core.cache.backends.*, adopting the same pattern used for model and field checks, admin checks, and staticfiles finders. (And template backend checks, as I proposed in #35233.)

This would mean:

Adding BaseCache.check() which just does return [] for now.
Pushing the existing two checks down to a new FileBasedCache.check() method.
Dropping the existing code.
Checking tests cover the checks sufficiently and they pass with the new structure.
Potentially adding a test to cover a custom cache backend with its own check.

📊 Junie Summary

The cache system checks in Django were restructured by adding a check() method to BaseCache and moving related checks to FileBasedCache, consolidating standalone functions into check_cache_backends. Tests were updated to ensure correct implementation, though they could not be run due to environment limitations. No documentation updates were needed.
