This changeset integrates the layer info cache with the registry webapp and
storage backend. The main benefit is to cache immutable layer meta data,
reducing backend roundtrips. The cache can be configured to use either redis or
an inmemory cache.
This provides massive performance benefits for HEAD http checks on layer blobs
and manifest verification.

After consideration, it has been decided that the interfaces defined in the
storage package provide a good base for interacting with various registry
instances. Whether interacting with a remote API or a local, on-disk registry,
these types have proved flexible. By moving them here, they can become the
central components of interacting with distribution components.

This change is slightly more complex than previous package maves in that the
package name changed. To address this, we simply always reference the package
driver as storagedriver to avoid compatbility issues with existing code. While
unfortunate, this can be cleaned up over time.
