- Remove broken cache locking mechanism
This was supposed to unload NIFFiles after a cell transition completes, but it was never working due to a mistake on the line if (--sLockLevel), should have been if (--sLockLevel == 0). Repairing this would increase load times (NIF files would have to be reloaded more frequently), so just removed it for now.
- Decouple cache from NIFFile (now a new nifcache component)
- Add API for future background loading
- Provide a reliable way (SharedPtr) to hold on to loaded NIFFiles. This will be useful to avoid deep copies of keyframe and text key data, which is currently a performance bottleneck.
Don't actually do anything with it yet, but without this the "MW Containers Animated" mod made containers inaccessible.
