Subject: [PATCH 1/4] [Support][Cache] Make `pruneCache` return an `Expected`

When `sys::fs::disk_space` would fail in during a call to `pruneCache`,
it would report a `fatal_error`. However, a failure to prune doesn't
mean the caller should fail catastrophically.

Downstream, we use LLVM's cache in the OpenCL runtime. A failure to prune
the cache can be safely ignored without stopping the user's application.
