Improve patch_cache_control documentation

[Adam Johnson]

​The documentation for this response modifier lists rules, but only rules. It would be a lot clearer with a table of transformed names for common parameters and a usage example.

Agreed - I think that would be a nice improvement

Hello, I'm new to Django and I'd like to solve this so I've assigned this to myself as my first ticket :).

Next step for me: figure out where that change needs to be made in the docs.

Hi there,

I noticed this issue has been open for several months and doesn't seem to have active progress. I'm interested in contributing to this task.

Could you please:

• Confirm if this issue is still relevant?
• If the issue is still valid, would you be open to having me work on it?
• If you're no longer actively working on this, would you be willing to unassign yourself so I can take it over?

I'm prepared to:

• Carefully review the current documentation
• Propose specific improvements
• Submit a pull request following Django's contribution guidelines

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yes, it’s still relevant. Please try to understand the existing documentation - cross-reference with MDN's documentation on the cache-control header.

Hi, I’ve started working on this and submitted a patch that improves the documentation around patch_cache_control. I’ve tried to align with Django’s doc style and linting requirements, but I’d appreciate any guidance or suggestions—especially if there’s a preferred way to present the table or examples.

Thanks in advance for your time and review!
