Count a late hit, and report no totals on a disabled cache (closes #56)

A hit is now counted with the request context detached from its
cancellation, as the miss already is, so a hit served after the client
left or the request timed out still moves the hit count. On a disabled
disk cache, Stats reports no items and no size, whatever rows an earlier
run left in the database; the size already followed that rule.
