686766929a Simple Math tests
Calling `assert` within the `Enum.map` makes the errors more usable.

ee96a818e1 Define Server.semiprime
- Clear the boilerplate that `mix` generated
- Consume `Math.factor` to test which inputs are semiprimes
- Cache all inputs that are semiprimes as soon as we discover that they are
- semiprimes

I considered a couple things related to the Cache:
- Could save space by storing all semiprime factors in a tree. This would make
  the lookups more expensive. Also because the tree's depth would never exceed
  two (because all semiprimes only have two factors), the tree would be quite
  broad, and we may not be saving enough space for the trade to be worthwhile. I
  might be wrong about that though.
- We could consider pre-computing all semiprimes when we start the app, but
  without running some tests firsts, I'm not sure whether or not it's worth the
  trouble.

ab73220280 Define Cache.{list,clear} to help debugging
Since I'm often using `iex` for interactive development, these functions are
useful.

714ec29743 Define Cache and convert app to OTP
Define a simple in-memory key-value store for our cache.

TL;DR:
- Define `Cache` as a simple state-keeping `Agent`
- Define `Sup`, which starts our Cache process
- Define `App`, which starts our Supervisor process
- Whitelist `App` in `mix.exs`, so that it starts after calling `iex -S mix`

9 out of 10 doctors agree that every module needs a doc. Ask your doctor if
moduledocs are right for you!
