Looking at this again, I think I moved the wrong import and should have moved the new TargetManger import in the descriptor to be more obvious.
But essentially the cycle here is that the TargetManager needs access to the target descriptor methods as before, however this PR also adds the requirement for the target descriptor to access the TargetManagers parameters so it can add them to the target descriptor for filtering.

But those are accessed via an argument passed into instantiate_target when called. I don't see the load-time descriptor.py --> manager dependency. Am I missing something?

oh, wait, never mind; just saw the update.

OK, so issue here is that TargetManager parameters are being populated inside TargetDescription.get_descriptions(). This breaks conceptual integrity -- TargetDescription should not know about TargetManager; it only describes a target.
Rather than doing this, I would pass the manager parameters as arguments to list_target_descriptions and add them to each description there.
The target manager parameters have not been previously been used as they have been missing the required plumbing. Allow configuration of the TargetManager via the `device_config` section.
Allow disabling of the usage of the target_info cache. This is useful when running on a one-off target and there is no benefit of using caching the target information.
