cacheswitcher

This library is a wrapper around https://github.com/groupon/node-cached and https://github.com/cayasso/cacheman-redis, it makes easy to switch from one to the other with configuration. It also make all APIs the same, same methods, same parameters. Not all APIs are wrapped but the common ones. It also add the Promise style on all the method
