src: update cache if cmd is more specific
If we've done a partial fetch of the cache and the genid is the same the
cache update will be skipped without fetching the needed items. This
change flushes the cache if the new request is more specific than the
current cache - forcing a cache update which includes the needed items.
Introduces a simple scoring system which reflects how
cache_init_objects() looks at the current command to decide if it is
finished already or not. Then use that in cache_needs_more(): If current
command's score is higher than old command's, cache needs an update.
Fixes: 816d8c7659c1 ("Support 'add/insert rule index <IDX>'")
