ResourceCache doesn't have functionality to allow adding timeouts to cached items

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently the ResourceCache does not allow for cached items to have 
information on when the item should be reloaded from the server.

I made a version that supports this functionality.
Adding timeouts is optional and the class can be used in the exact same way 
as before.

When the storage directory is set, a Dictionary with the files of the 
folder is created for fast checkup of cached files

I also added more events and added event metadata to the main class
ITEM_EXPIRED
ITEM_LOADING
ITEM_LOAD_PROGRESS
ITEM_LOAD_FAILED
CACHE_CLEARED
CACHE_REFRESHED
CACHE_REFRESHING

I updated my update :)
I added a method called "callbackRetrieve" that works exactly the same as the 
normal 
"retrieve" except that it takes a callback function as an extra argument and it 
calls 
that callback function with the loaded file as an argument once the file is 
ready.

Since each callbackRetrieve method creates a unique loader instance, it may be 
used 
to simultaneously retrieve multiple files without having to think about which 
file is 
ready once the ResourceCache dispatched an ITEM_READY event.

Also added functionality to clean up and remove each loader instance once it's 
no 
longer needed.
