[rfc][icedtea-web][itweb-settings] Improve Icedtea-Web cache disk space

[helpcrypto helpcrypto]

Hmm...Is not exactly what I was thinking.
If you find the following layout better, I'll be happy if its applied.

PS: I think you messed the hide/show stuff...and with limit unchecked I
cant see the jar compression either!


--------------------
Java stores application data in cache for faster execution the next time
you run it.

(Notice theres not tittledborder!)
<check> Limit cache usage. Maximum cache in MB: <spinner>
("Maximum cache in MB"+spinner will be hidden if limit unchecked)
<warning>
(If limit=0 or limit>available, warning goes here, otherwise hidden)
Jar compression level
<select>                                                            (this
must be hidden only if limit=0)
Location where temporary files are
stored:                                            (this
label+<path>+<change>+<view files> are hidden only if limit=0)
<path> <change> <view files>
--------------------

Regards
