Foundation

Summary:
NSURLCache does not respect the value of its `diskCapacity` property. Instead of limiting the on-disk cache to the specified size, it keeps growing uncontrollably, to the order of hundreds of megabytes or more.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the `diskCapacity` property of `NSURLCache.sharedURLCache` to 10 * 1024 * 1024
2. Create http requests (using NSURLSession), downloading data.
3. Continue downloading data, checking the value of `NSURLCache.sharedURLCache.currentDiskUsage` after each response received.

Expected Results:
`currentDiskUsage` should remain less than or equal to `diskCapacity`.

Actual Results:
`currentDiskUsage` grows (far) beyond `diskCapacity`.

Version:
10.2 (14C92)
