Enable/disable caching in FileModuleResolver.

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -44,6 +44,7 @@ Enhancements
 * Previously, `private` functions in an `AST` cannot be called with `call_fn` etc. This is inconvenient when trying to call a function inside a script which also serves as a loadable module exporting part (but not all) of the functions. Now, all functions (`private` or not) can be called in an `AST`. The `private` keyword is relegated to preventing a function from being exported.
 * `Dynamic::as_unit` just for completeness sake.
 * `bytes` method added for strings to get length quickly (if the string is ASCII-only).
+* `FileModuleResolver` can now enable/disable caching.
