    flow: virtualize flow cache entry methods · fe1a5f03

    This allows to validate the cached object before returning it.
    It also allows to destruct object properly, if the last reference
    was held in flow cache. This is also a prepartion for caching
    bundles in the flow cache.
    
    In return for virtualizing the methods, we save on:
    - not having to regenerate the whole flow cache on policy removal:
      each flow matching a killed policy gets refreshed as the getter
      function notices it smartly.
    - we do not have to call flow_cache_flush from policy gc, since the
      flow cache now properly deletes the object if it had any references
