Stephen J Day a7c2dceea5 Define and implement layer info cache
This changeset defines the interface for layer info caches. Layer info caches
speed up access to layer meta data accessed in storage driver backends. The
two main operations are tests for repository membership and resolving path and
size information for backend blobs.

Two implementations are available. The main implementation leverages redis to
store layer info. An alternative implementation simply caches layer info in
maps, which should speed up resolution for less sophisticated implementations.

// Package cache provides facilities to speed up access to the storage
// backend. Typically cache implementations deal with internal implementation
// details at the backend level, rather than generalized caches for
// distribution related interfaces. In other words, unless the cache is
// specific to the storage package, it belongs in another package.

// a cache should be implemented as a middleware, rather than integrated with
