Create a SupplierBuilder just like CacheBuilder

This is related to #1772.

There are a lot of similarities between a Cache and a Supplier. Really, a Supplier is a specific case of a LoadingCache with a single key. Since the CacheBuilder has become a useful pattern of constructing a Cache I propose creating a SupplierBuilder that incorporates much of the same properties as a CacheBuilder. This would make it easy to have weak/soft references (see #1772), different eviction strategies as well as removalListener.

One thing missing in Suppliers.html#memoize is to be able to invalidate the result. I propose the above solution also supports this.
