docs: document cache_max_bytes, update TODO.md (closes #51)

Add cache_max_bytes to config.example.yml and the README key settings
list. TODO.md: move cache size management and eviction to Completed
Steps, promote P1 blocked networks configuration into Next Step, and
note in Status that the unbounded disk growth DoS vector is closed.
