Caching

[BytewaveMLP]

Global request caching is still an important feature to add. I think it would be relatively easy to do, as most HTTP fetching is routed through Fetch anyway.

The question is, do I want this to be done in memory or on disk, or a combination of the two? Should it be user-configurable?

Apparently it's really hard to find good HTTP caching libraries for request. Hmm.
I really don't want to have to write my own, but if that's what it comes to, so be it.

As a side note, request/request has been deprecated as of Feb 11, 2020. got looks interesting.
