rB9bfc47c9334b: Alembic Procedural: basic cache control settings

Summary

This adds a setting to enable data caching, and another one to set the
maximum cache size in megabytes.

When caching is enabled we load the data for the entire animation in
memory, as we already do, however, if the data exceeds the memory limit,
render is aborted.

When caching is disabled, we simply load the data for the current frame
in memory.

Depends on D10197.

7279–7284	Only show this if the Cycles procedural is enabled.
source/blender/makesdna/DNA_cachefile_types.h
100–103	Add a comment explaining this is for the Cycles procedural only at this point.
source/blender/makesrna/intern/rna_cachefile.c
155	Booleans should start with `use_` instead of `enable_`, by convention. Also I think using the term "prefetch" would be more consistent with Blender terminology and more precise. We use that term in the video sequencer. So I suggest: use_prefetch prefetch_cache_size With clear indication in the description that this is for the procedural.
