ignore AllowMem parameter in cache generation
The parameter name suggests that it should forbid the building of the entire cache in memory, but this isn't how it was previously and as AllowMem is false by default it actually prevents previous usecases from working like being root and configuring apt to build no caches at all. This should be fixed at some point to actually work, but that is hard to pull off as it means switching the default and some callers (including apt itself) actually did call it explicitly with false in certain cases for no apparent reason (at least now where it is common to have enough memory to throw at every problem and even if not is a slow apt usally better than an apt erroring out). Closes: 796459
