Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We often do some caching and often use "10/64/100mb cache for <something> at max is not bad" words and it is hard to understand now how many "at max" we already can have cached. Is it 1gb of memory? 100mb?

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a prometheus metric that describes memory usage (even approximate is better than nothing) by our caches. It allows understanding how much free mem we can have if set https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neofs-node/blob/22259ce755199d6e87331a3b58cc14449a36f69e/config/example/node.yaml#L75 to zero value.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Do nothing. No real requirement for making it now in fact.

Research direction

Start by reading config/example/node.yaml around line 75 to understand the cache setting and how a zero value affects cache capacity. Trace the cache implementations and existing Prometheus metrics, then define the metric's scope and verify that it reports approximate memory usage for the caches.
