The new policy is identical to FSCACHE (which caches everything in memory), but
it also flushes writes to the backing fs agent immediately.
All gofer cache policy decisions have been moved into the cachePolicy type.
Previously they were sprinkled around the codebase.
There are many different things that we cache (page cache, negative dirents,
dirent LRU, unstable attrs, readdir results....), and I don't think we should
have individual flags to control each of these. Instead, we should have a few
high-level cache policies that are consistent and useful to users. This
refactoring makes it easy to add more such policies.

When file is backed by host FD, atime and mtime for the host file and the
cached attributes in the Sentry must be close together. In this case,
the call to update atime and mtime can be skipped. This is important when
host filesystem is using overlay because updating atime and mtime explicitly
forces a copy up for every file that is touched.
