Tomasz Grabiec 4ff204c028 Merge 'cache: make all removals of cache items explicit' from Michał Chojnowski
This series is a step towards non-LRU cache algorithms.

Our cache items are able to unlink themselves from the LRU list. (In other words, they can be unlinked solely via a pointer to the item, without access to the containing list head). Some places in the code make use of that, e.g. by relying on auto-unlink of items in their destructor.

However, to implement algorithms smarter than LRU, we might want to update some cache-wide metadata on item removal. But any cache-wide structures are unreachable through an item pointer, since items only have access to themselves and their immediate neighbours. Therefore, we don't want items to unlink themselves — we want `cache.remove(item)`, rather than `item.remove_self()`, because the former can update the metadata in `cache`.

This series inserts explicit item unlink calls in places that were previously relying on destructors, gets rid of other self-unlinks, and adds an assert which ensures that every item is explicitly unlinked before destruction.

Closes #11716
