Patch enlarges number of arguments of SearchSysCache and friends to 5 and
introduces SearchSysCacheN (and friends) macroses. All
SearchSysCache/SearchSysCacheCopy/SearchSysCacheExists/SearchSysCacheList/GetSysCacheOid
calls are converted into calling macroses.

For compatibility, we could rename SearchSysCache into SearchSysCacheSomething
and provide SearchSysCache function for old code.
