Previously the SupportsBlocking option was specified by a method on the type, and all the other options were specified from RegisterOptions. This change moves RegisterOptions to a method on the type, and moves SupportsBlocking into the options struct. Currently there are only 2 cache-types. So all cache-types can implement this method by embedding a struct with those predefined values. In the future if a cache type needs to be registered more than once with different options it can remove the embedded type and implement the method in a way that allows for paramaterization.
