The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a small code cleanup change in Bitcoin Core. It removes a misleading alias named DEFAULT_DB_CACHE and replaces it with the underlying name DEFAULT_KERNEL_CACHE in a few places. The behavior of the program is unchanged; only the names used in the source code are clearer.
