[OpenAFS] memcache option for Windows client

An in-memory cache option doesn't make sense for the Windows client.  It
uses a memory mapped file for the cache.  This means that, if sufficient
memory exists, it is in memory.  It basically works like virtual memory
where it will be mapped back to the disk when needed, but is addressable
like memory.

Do you have a need that the cache ONLY be in memory?
