[RFC/PATCH 23/24] gitweb/lib - Add clear() and size() methods to caching interface

Add ->size() method, which following Cache::Cache interface returns estimated total size of all entries in whole cache (in the namsepace assiciated with give cache instance). Note that ->get_size($key) returns size of a single entry!

Add ->clear() method, which removes all entries from the namespace associated with given cache instance. For safety it requires namespace to be set to true value, which means that it cannot be empty; therefore default namespace is changed to 'gitweb'.

The ->clear() method should be fairly safe, because it first renames directory (which should be atomic), and only then removes it (following code from CGI::Driver::File).

This patch is unchanged from previous version of this series.

This patch (implementing "backend") together with next patch (implementing "interface") are meant to provide nice web interface to safely cleaning (pruning) cache, as described in comments and documentation (how to do this manually).

This is less an RFC than next patch, but without next patch it is of very limited use.
