Issue with storing cache in FTSimpleLayout

[blake-r]

Hi.

There are two issues in cache realization in FTSimpleLayout:

• store pointers to original string, but need to cached string - original can out of scope;
• no cache invalidating after change layout parameters.

My patch to fix this:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix cache store and it's invalidation on change layout
 parameters.

Patch updated, make cache allocable instead of restricted.
