qcow2: add option to clean unused cache entries after some time

Browse source 
This adds a new 'cache-clean-interval' option that cleans all qcow2
cache entries that haven't been used in a certain interval, given in
seconds.

This allows setting a large L2 cache size so it can handle scenarios
with lots of I/O and at the same time use little memory during periods
of inactivity.

This feature currently relies on MADV_DONTNEED to free that memory, so
it is not useful in systems that don't follow that behavior.
