Baking API for cache modifiers.

Cache baking means the cache modifier should read input caches over the
given frame range and produce the correct output for writing into the
output cache file.

Cache modifiers can optionally implement a 'bake' function. This is used
through a bake operator from the cache modifier panel. Baking is
executed in a job, which will help with cancelling bakes and displaying
status info.
