  This module implements a key/value cache store. We adopt LRU as our
replace/evict policy. Each key/value pair is tagged with a Time-to-Live (TTL);
from user's perspective, stale pairs are automatically removed from the cache.

Why FFI
-------
  In Lua, expression "table[key] = nil" does not *PHYSICALLY* remove the value
associated with the key; it just set the value to be nil! So the table will
keep growing with large number of the key/nil pairs which will be purged until
resize() operator is called.

This "feature" is terribly ill-suited to what we need. Therefore we have to
rely on FFI to build a hash-table where any entry can be physically deleted
immediately.

Under the hood:
--------------
  In concept, we introduce three data structures to implement the cache store:
    1. key/value vector for storing keys and values.
    2. a queue to mimic the LRU.
    3. hash-table for looking up the value for a given key.

Unfortunately, efficiency and clarity usually come at each other cost. The
data strucutres we are using are slightly more complicated than what we
described above.

o. Lua does not have efficient way to store a vector of pair. So, we use
      two vectors for key/value pair: one for keys and the other for values
      (_M.key_v and _M.val_v, respectively), and i-th key corresponds to
      i-th value.

A key/value pair is identified by the "id" field in a "node" (we shall
      discuss node later)

o. The queue is nothing more than a doubly-linked list of "node" linked via
        lrucache_pureffi_queue_s::{next|prev} fields.

o. The hash-table has two parts:
        - the _M.bucket_v[] a vector of bucket, indiced by hash-value, and
        - a bucket is a singly-linked list of "node" via the
          lrucache_pureffi_queue_s::conflict field.

A key must be a string, and the hash value of a key is evaluated by:
      crc32(key-cast-to-pointer) % size(_M.bucket_v).
      We mandate size(_M.bucket_v) being a power-of-two in order to avoid
      expensive modulo operation.

At the heart of the module is an array of "node" (of type
    lrucache_pureffi_queue_s). A node:
      - keeps the meta-data of its corresponding key/value pair
        (embodied by the "id", and "expire" field);
      - is a part of LRU queue (embodied by "prev" and "next" fields);
      - is a part of hash-table (embodied by the "conflict" field).
