dm-pcache: add cache_gc

Introduce cache_gc.c, a self-contained engine that reclaims cache
segments whose data have already been flushed to the backing device.
Running in the cache workqueue, the GC keeps segment usage below the
user-configurable *cache_gc_percent* threshold.

* need_gc() – decides when to trigger GC by checking:
  - *dirty_tail* vs *key_tail* position,
  - kset integrity (magic + CRC),
  - bitmap utilisation against the gc-percent threshold.

* Per-key reclamation
  - Decodes each key in the target kset (`cache_key_decode()`).
  - Drops the segment reference with `cache_seg_put()`, allowing the
    segment to be invalidated once all keys are gone.
  - When the reference count hits zero the segment is cleared from
    `seg_map`, making it immediately reusable by the allocator.

* Scheduling
  - `pcache_cache_gc_fn()` loops until no more work is needed, then
    re-queues itself after *PCACHE_CACHE_GC_INTERVAL*.
