The main intention is to avoid a sprawl of different caching approaches by
establishing a simple, easy to use cache implementation that can be used to
persistently cache API responses from remotes (and derived aggregations).

Open questions: 
  - is the per-namespace lock too coarse? Should we rather lock
    per key? Anyways, one should not hold the lock during longer periods of time
    (e.g. when doing API requests), so the namespace-level lock seemed fine to me.
    A per-namespace (so, per-remote) lock is nicer when one wants to update several
    keys in one go.

  - Base directory for cache, currently it is
    /var/cache/proxmox-datacenter-manager/cache
    But this seems both redundant and generic to me, so maybe
    'api-cache'?

  - Went with a max_age param on `get` instead of a `set` with an expiry time,
    I think it's quite common to have cache readers with different requirements
    to value freshness, so this might be a better fit.
    Also, we use the max-age mechanism in the API already, so this
    is a seamless fit then. Does this make sense? Or this we rather have
    redis-style `set` with expiry time/TTL?


The `namespaced_cache` module is pretty generic and can be moved to proxmox.git
(maybe in proxmox-shared-cache) once it has sufficiently stabilized.


proxmox-datacenter-manager:

Lukas Wagner (4):
  add persistent, generic, namespaced key-value cache implementation
  add pdm_cache cache as a specialized wrapper around the namespaced
    cache
  api: resources: subscriptions: switch over to pdm_cache
  remote-updates: switch over to pdm_cache
