util: lower water mark when removing nodes after cost limit reached
See the inline comment for the reasoning here. This is a pretty
common strategy for garbage collectors, other cache-like primtives.
The performance impact is substantial:

This puts us ~2x slower than caches without cost accounting. And for
read-heavy workloads (the prime use cases for caches), performance is
nearly identical.
In the worst case (pure write workloads with cost accounting enabled),
we're looking at ~1.5us per insert on large caches. That seems "fast
enough."
