    src/utils_cache.[ch]: Added a global cache for all values that are dispatched.
    
    The cache translates counter values to gauge values using the last counter
    value available. This can then be used to check against threshold values, as
    we'll need to do for monitoring functionality.
    
    Right now the cache doesn't do much: It sits there and caches the values, but
    is not yet ever queried. The already implemented (but so far unused) function
    `uc_get_rate' returns an array of gauge_t values.
    
    The longterm goal is to have the network, rrdtool and unixsock plugins use this
    cache, too. This will require some `plugin specific' data with appropriate
    control structures and, which is likely the hardest part, some clever locking
    for all that.

    perl plugin: Set $0 to "collectd".
    
    perl_parse() has to set it to "-e" which is not very meaningful. It would
    be even nicer to set it to argv[0] but this is not available from inside
    the plugin.
