Cache Control only written if not set

Previously Spring Security always wrote cache control headers and relied
on the application to override the values. This can cause problems with
cache control. For example, applications may only set cache control if
the header is not already set. Additionally, setting of Cache-Control
should disable writing of Pragma.

This commit delays writing headers until just before the response is
committed and only writes the Cache Control headers if they do not exist.

Fixes gh-2953
