[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup 1/2] tools: lru cache: allow to dynamically increase the cache capacity

Currently, the capacity of the LRU cache is set at instantiation, not
allowing to change it afterwards. In some situations, e.g. when more
space/memory is available, dynamically increasing it is required.

Therefore, add the methods which allow to increase the capacity by a
given increment, for the lru cache, async lru cache and the local
datastore lru caches, respectively.
