docs: modules descriptions (#17844)
Several `core` modules do not have descriptions, like the
[agent](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/core_api_reference.html#module-langchain_core.agents)
module.
- Added missed module descriptions. The descriptions are mostly copied
from the `langchain` or `community` package modules.

.. warning::
Beta Feature!
**Cache** provides an optional caching layer for LLMs.
Cache is useful for two reasons:
- It can save you money by reducing the number of API calls you make to the LLM
provider if you're often requesting the same completion multiple times.
- It can speed up your application by reducing the number of API calls you make
to the LLM provider.
Cache directly competes with Memory. See documentation for Pros and Cons.
**Class hierarchy:**
.. code-block::
BaseCache --> <name>Cache # Examples: InMemoryCache, RedisCache, GPTCache
