Min and max values, keept as an explicit number of cachelines, are tightly
coupled with particular cache. This might lead to errors and mismatches after
reattaching cache of different size.
To prevent those errors, min and max should be calculated dynamically.

If partition's occupancy limit is reached, cachelines should be evicted from
request's target partition.
Information whether particular partition eviction should be triggered is
carried as a flag by request which triggered eviction.

Global free cacheline list is divided into a set of freelists, one
per execution context. When attempting to map addres to cache, first
the freelist for current execution context is considered (fast path).
If current execution context freelist is empty (fast path failure),
mapping function attempts to get freelist from other execution context
list (slow path).
The purpose of this change is improve concurrency in freelist access.
It is part of fine granularity metadata lock implementation.

- Queue allocation is now separated from starting cache.
- Queue can be created and destroyed in runtime.
- All queue ops accept queue handle instead of queue id.
- Cache stores queues as list instead of array.
