tanishqtayade b82c04704c fix: LocalCache with limit=0 incorrectly stores items
When limit=0 is passed to LocalCache (e.g. when DNSCACHE_ENABLED=False),
the condition 'if self.limit' evaluates to False due to Python's truthiness
rules, causing items to be stored despite the cache being disabled.

This leads to an unbounded memory leak during long crawls when DNS caching
is explicitly disabled.

Fix changes the condition to 'if self.limit is not None' and adds an early
return when limit=0 to correctly handle the disabled cache case.
