    TS-4331Major re-write of hostdb

    This is still a WIP, but I figure it's about time to get some feedback on 
the code here.
    
    The primary goal of this is to fix the crashing issues described in 
TS-4331, where basically multicache wasn't keeping track of who referenced 
various items within the cache.
    
    At this point my TODO list still is:
    - Configurable size/item limits
    - configurable max RR/SRV records (instead of a constant)
    - Additional tests
    -- tests for syncing/loading cache from disk
    - cleanup alloc() method in RefCountCache (now its using new, need to 
either move to ClassAllocator or to just pad the iobuf allocation and put them 
in there)
    - bounds checking in alloc() (specifically that we could even allocate an 
item of the size requested)
    - additional metrics
    -- number of items
    -- total size
    -- hit rate
    
    I'm sure more will come up, I'll do my best to keep this list ^^ up-to-date
