This allows to:
- reuse reference counting;
- avoid having to manually call g_free to release item memory;
- assure item is initialized;
- avoids some manual casts.
It will also allows to use smart pointers.

RedCacheItem was using an union to reuse cache item memory
as a pipe item to release that specific cache item.
Instead of spreading that structure everywhere move the specific
optimization all in cache-item.tmpl.cpp.
This make also code less cluttered.
Add some comment on specific code.
