Add CuckooCache implementation and replace the sigcache map_type with it

SQUASHME: Change cuckoocache to only work for powers of two, to avoid mod operator
SQUASHME: Update Documentation and simplify logarithm logic
SQUASHME: OSX Build Errors
SQUASHME: minor Feedback from sipa + bluematt
SQUASHME: DOCONLY: Clarify a few comments.
