This generic caching module is better than the ad-hoc code we used in
getkey.c.  More cleanup in getkey is still required but it is a
start.  There is also a small performance increase with the new cache:

With a large keyring and --list-sigs I get these numbers:

|      | before     | after      |
|------+------------+------------|
| real | 14m1.028s  | 12m16.186s |
| user |  2m18.484s |  1m36.040s |
| sys  | 11m42.420s | 10m40.044s |

Note the speedup in the user time which is due to the improved cache
algorithm.  This is obvious, because the old cache was just a long
linked list; the new cache are two hash tables.
