[PULL 14/21] docs/tcg-plugins: add L2 arguments to cache docs

Subject: [PULL 14/21] docs/tcg-plugins: add L2 arguments to cache docs
Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2021 17:05:51 +0000

From: Mahmoud Mandour <ma.mandourr@gmail.com>

cache plugin now allows optional L2 per-core cache emulation that can be
configured through plugin arguments, this commit adds this functionality
to the docs.

While I'm at it, I editted the bullet point for cache plugin to say:
    contrib/plugins/cache.c
instead of
    contrib/plugins/cache
to match other plugins.
