Return refresh future and ignore redundant refreshes

A mapping of in-flight refreshes is now maintained and lazily
initialized if not used. This allows the cache to ignore redundant
requests for reloads, like Guava does. It also removes disablement
of expiration during refresh and resolves an ABA problem if the
entry is modified in a previously undectectable way. The refresh
future can now be obtained from LoadingCache to chain operations
against.
