util: make capacity a public attribute on lrucachedict

So others can query it. Useful for operations that may want to verify
the cache has capacity for N items before it performs an operation that
may cause cache eviction.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
