Fix lru_cache() errors arising in recursive, reentrant, or
multi-threaded code. These errors could result in orphan links and in
the cache being trapped in a state with fewer than the specified maximum
number of links. Fix handling of negative maxsize which should have
been treated as zero. Fix errors in toggling the "full" status flag.
Fix misordering of links when errors are encountered. Sync-up the C
code and pure Python code for the space saving path in functions with a
single positional argument. In this common case, the space overhead of
an lru cache entry is reduced by almost half. Fix counting of cache
misses. In error cases, the miss count was out of sync with the actual
number of times the underlying user function was called.

/* General note on reentrancy:
There are four dictionary calls in the bounded_lru_cache_wrapper():
1) The initial check for a cache match. 2) The post user-function
check for a cache match. 3) The deletion of the oldest entry.
4) The addition of the newest entry.
In all four calls, we have a known hash which lets use avoid a call
to __hash__(). That leaves only __eq__ as a possible source of a
reentrant call.
The __eq__ method call is always made for a cache hit (dict access #1).
Accordingly, we have make sure not modify the cache state prior to
this call.
The __eq__ method call is never made for the deletion (dict access #3)
because it is an identity match.
For the other two accesses (#2 and #4), calls to __eq__ only occur
when some other entry happens to have an exactly matching hash (all
64-bits). Though rare, this can happen, so we have to make sure to
either call it at the top of its code path before any cache
state modifications (dict access #2) or be prepared to restore
invariants at the end of the code path (dict access #4).
Another possible source of reentrancy is a decref which can trigger
arbitrary code execution. To make the code easier to reason about,
the decrefs are deferred to the end of the each possible code path
so that we know the cache is a consistent state.
