    The HTTP cache for the API now takes a parameter that determines if it
    is created in memory (create_db_in_memory). This parameter replaces
    the db_path parameter, which previously accepted the special value
    ':memory:' to create the SQLite database in memory. The new
    parameter is more straightforward because caches will only ever be
    required to be created at the default location (for normal operation)
    or in memory (for unit testing).

    The default API cache path is stored on the APICache class as the
    CACHE_PATH constant, which can be used without instantiating the
    class. Becuase the HTTP cache for the API is only ever stored in one
    location on disk, it can be cleared (i.e., unlinked) without
    instantiating the class to determine where it is located on disk. This
    is important in the case where the cache exists but has become corrupt
    and cannot be loaded (and so instantiation of the APICache class will
    fail).

    Unit tests pass.
