util: teach lrucachedict to enforce a max total cost
Now that lrucachedict entries can have a numeric cost associated
with them and we can easily pop the oldest item in the cache, it
now becomes relatively trivial to implement support for enforcing
a high water mark on the total cost of items in the cache.
This commit teaches lrucachedict instances to have a max cost
associated with them. When items are inserted, we pop old items
until enough "cost" frees up to make room for the new item.
This feature is close to zero cost when not used (modulo the insertion
regressed introduced by the previous commit):

I reckon the slight slowdown on insert is due to added if checks.
For caches with total cost limiting enabled:
$ hg perflrucachedict --size 4 --gets 1000000 --sets 1000000 --mixed 1000000 --costlimit 100
! gets w/ cost limit

The functions we're benchmarking are slightly different, which could
move numbers by a few milliseconds. But the slowdown on insert is too
great to be explained by that. The slowness is due to insert heavy
operations needing to call popoldest() repeatedly when the cache is
at capacity. The next commit will address this.

util: allow lrucachedict to track cost of entries
Currently, lrucachedict allows tracking of arbitrary items with the
only limit being the total number of items in the cache.
Caches can be a lot more useful when they are bound by the size
of the items in them rather than the number of elements in the
cache.
In preparation for teaching lrucachedict to enforce a max size of
cached items, we teach lrucachedict to optionally associate a numeric
cost value with each node.
We purposefully let the caller define their own cost for nodes.
This does introduce some overhead. Most of it comes from __setitem__,
since that function now calls into insert(), thus introducing Python
function call overhead.

We're still under 1us per insert, which seems like reasonable
performance for a cache.
If we comment out updating of self.totalcost during insert(),
performance of insert() is identical to __setitem__ before. However,
I don't want to make total cost evaluation lazy because it has
significant performance implications for when we need to evaluate the
total cost at mutation time (it requires a cache traversal, which could
be expensive for large caches).

util: add a popoldest() method to lrucachedict
This allows consumers to prune the oldest item from the cache. This
could be useful for e.g. a consumer that wishes for the size of
items tracked by the cache to remain under a high water mark.

util: ability to change capacity when copying lrucachedict
This will allow us to easily replace an lrucachedict with one
with a higher or lower capacity as consumers deem necessary.
IMO it is easier to just create a new cache instance than to
muck with the capacity of an existing cache. Mutating an existing
cache's capacity feels more prone to bugs.

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.

util: properly copy lrucachedict instances
Previously, copy() only worked if the cache was full. We teach
copy() to only copy defined nodes.
