Lru Cache 2

/**
 * @file
 * @brief Implementation for [LRU Cache]
 * (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_replacement_policies#:~:text=Least%20Recently%20Used%20(LRU))
 *
 * @details
 * LRU discards the least recently used value.
 * Data structures used - doubly linked list and unordered_map
 *
 * unordered_map maps the key to the address of the node of the linked list.
 * If the element is accessed, the element is moved to the beginning of the
 * linked list.
 *
 * When the cache is full, the last element in the linked list is popped.
