Cache: introduced min_free cache clearing.

Clearing cache based on free space left on a file system is
expected to allow better disk utilization in some cases, notably
when disk space might be also used for something other than nginx
cache (including nginx own temporary files) and while loading
cache (when cache size might be inaccurate for a while, effectively
disabling max_size cache clearing).

Based on a patch by Adam Bambuch.
