The situation is not ideal, especially on Windows.

We need to
  * move TMS cache to %APPDATA%/JOSM/cache/tms
  * distribute over multiple folders
  * introduce maximum age, when cached images are deleted (user 
configurable)

WMS cache has some of these features, so we should try to adapt that code.
