infos/description = caches keysets from previous kdbGet() calls

This caching plugin stores keysets from previous kdbGet() calls to improve performance when reading configuration files.

The cache plugin is compiled and enabled on compatible systems by default. No actions are needed to enable it.

POSIX compliant system (including XSI extensions). The plugin is only compiled if the plugins resolver and mmapstorage are also available.

The cache files are located in the user's home directory below ~/.cache/elektra/ and shall not be altered, otherwise the behavior is undefined. If XDG_CACHE_HOME is set, the cache files are located below $XDG_CACHE_HOME/elektra.

Use the tool kdb cache to enable, disable or clear the cache.

Incompatible with storage plugins, which do not always produce the same keyset on any invocation concerning the same configuration file. A notable example here is the ini plugin (see issue #2592).
