mem-cache: Return evictions along with victims

For both sector and compressed caches multiple blocks may need
to be evicted in order to make room for a new block.

For example, when replacing a sector, all the blocks in this
sector must be evicted. A replacement, however, does not always
need to evict multiple blocks, as it is in the case of an
insertion of a block whose sector is already present in the cache
(i.e., its corresponding entry in the sector had not been brought
in yet, so it was invalid).

This patch creates the cache framework for that to happen.
