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.
