New description:

 The Tile Cache invalidation logic should be more refined. Currently saving
 a Map Definition will invalidate the tile cache for that layer, even if
 there were no changes to the base layer settings.

 The Tile Cache should only be invalidated when there are changes found in
 the base layer section of the Map Definition. For example, adding dynamic
 layers to a Map Definition with tiled layers and saving that resource
 should not clear the tile cache as the tiles are still valid.

 Steps to reproduce:

  1. View any web layout containing a map definition w/ tiled layers
  2. A generated folder containing the tiles should be in the defined
 TileCache folder
  3. Perform any change to this map definition that does not affect the
 base layers (eg. Changing the description, adding an untiled layer, etc)
 and save it.
  4. That generated folder is now deleted. Nothing was changed in the base
 layer settings so this folder (and all generated tiles within) should have
 remained.
