Caching per Firefox session instead of per window #5

We currently use the caching engine from dnssec-validator.cz but it is not sufficient for our purposes (caches per window only slow things down too much with synchronous lookups).

I'm not aware of a nice way to implement this in Firefox, sticking with per window caching. Also, asynchronous lookups are rather nice for responsiveness. (addon runs in same thread as gui)
