Full Changelog: v3.1.1...v3.2.0

Fix a bug in the Range method that causes a panic when the cache is empty

Notable changes:

• Add the GetOrSet and GetAndDelete methods to the Cache type (@Savid, @DoubleDi)
• Add the Has method to the Cache type (@gozeloglu)
• Add the Version method to the Item type (@gozeloglu)
• Add the Range method to the Cache type (@gozeloglu)

Add a SupressedLoader initialization function (#86)

The v2 module path has been changed.

The version 3 of ttlcache includes many breaking changes, some of which improve the general usability and readability of the code, while others extend the current API with new Go features (mainly type parameters). The most notable of these additions/changes are:

• The new Item type that is returned by both Get and Set methods.
• The deletion of the Close() method.
• The rename of the Purge() method to DeleteAll().
• The rewritten New function that now accepts functional options. It also doesn't start the automatic expired item deletion process: the Start() method needs to be explicitly called for it to be activated.
• Improved event/callback registration methods.
• More predictable item deletion when the cache's capacity is reached.
• The new Loader interface.

All new or updated types and functions can be found on the documentation, README, or v3 issue page.

As contributed in #66

This is a test release to change the cache into one that works with generics, allowing for a templated key value structure.
