cachetools v.0.0.1

[ikod]

Hello,

I released cachetools - package with @safe and @nogc cache and 
hashtable implementations.

It inherits nogc propery from key toHash and opEquals methods and 
can store immutable keys and values (with restrictions).

Currently implemented only LRU cache with TTL.

Performance of underlying hash table seems to be better in my 
benchmarks in comparison with std associative arrays and with 
emsi containers (see 
https://github.com/ikod/cachetools/tree/master/testhash )

         Test inserts and lookups int[int]

|c.t.+GC | 184 ms, 594 μs, and 5 hnsecs    | GC memory Δ 16MB|
|emsi    | 642 ms and 120 μs               | GC memory Δ 0MB|
