Caching module for the Toast test framework

Why would a testing framework need caching, you might ask? Well, sometimes a particular piece of code does something that isn't that easily otherwise checked (e.g. sending a mail), or if you write [acceptance tests](http://toast.monomelodies.nl/acceptance) you might need a way to check if the external server did something correctly. The module is called `cache` because it's fully PSR-16 compliant, but you really should think of it more as a shared pool you can access for temporary storage while running a test scenario.
