docs,util: Refactor schemas and virresctrl to support optional cache

Refactor schemas and virresctrl to support optional <cache> element
in <cachetune>.

Later, the monitor entry will be introduced and to be placed
under <cachetune>. Either cache entry or monitor entry is
an optional element of <cachetune>.

An cachetune has no <cache> element is taking the default resource
allocating policy defined in '/sys/fs/resctrl/schemata'.
