set/show code-cache

Similar to stack cache, in this patch, we add
TARGET_OBJECT_CODE_MEMORY to read code from target and add a new
option "set code-cache on|off" to optimize code accesses by
using the target memory cache.

In V4:
 - Remove "without affecting correctness" from NEWS and doc.
 - Replace "ON" with "on" in doc.
 - "access" -> "accesses".

In V3:
 - Rename functions and variables.
 - Update command help, doc and NEWS entry.
 - Invalidate cache on option transitions, to align with
   the behaviour of "stack-cache".  Since cache invalidation is
   transparent to users, users don't know option "stack-cache"
   transitions cause code cache invalidation.

V2 was reviewed by Doug.  There are some changes in V3, so I post it
here.
