cachefiles: Register a miscdev and parse commands over it
Register a misc device with which to talk to the daemon. The misc device
holds a cache set up through it around and closing the device kills the
cache.
cachefilesd communicates with the kernel by passing it single-line text
commands. Parse these and use them to parameterise the cache state. This
does not implement the command to actually bring a cache online. That's
left for later.
