Feature request

Including fastcgi cache configuration with basic parameters.

Feature description

Include some controls that allow the user configure the maximum size to cache, time to live of cached pages and responses caches, to enable basic fastcgi configuration.

A single rule showing how to exclude some locations and basic exclusions (i.e. POST requests), and a link to a basic tutorial (like this very easy to follow by digital ocean for people that have not approached to this feature, would be very helpful.

It is not necessary to include every single map/rule/location combination of exclusions, but even the basic setup would help a lot people to take advantage of this, even helping some projects to avoid reaching for caching that consumes more resources (i.e. WordPress cache plugins, Redis homegrown caches in node projects, etc.).

How the feature is useful

FastCGI cache configuration would be very helpful for some workloads, adding basic params as time to live, cache size, and status of responses caches, would show to administrators how to include this awesome feature in their setup and achieve more reliability even on sudden traffic spikes.
