Improving ActiveRecord::Core find by cache hit rate

I noticed that in ActiveRecord::Core, when we cache the StatementCache values (here and there), we potentially duplicate cache entries in the case where both Model.find(1) and Model.find_by(id: 1) are called, this results in two entries in the cache, with the respective keys "id" and ["id"]

I was playing with it and wrote a small patch that prevents that by extracting the first (and only) value from the array of keys, if there’s only one key, in the find_by case.
