Add DAP scope cache

Andry Ogorodnik, a co-worker, noticed that multiple "scopes" requests
with the same frame would yield different variableReference values in
the response.

This patch adds a regression test for this, and adds a scope cache in
scopes.py, ensuring that multiple identical requests will get the same
response.
