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.
