----------------------------
Implement proper package metadata cache using SQLite 3.x (high performance).
I've been working on CPU and disk I/O intensive package analysis across
hundreds of package archives which is very slow even on my MacBook Air with
four cores and an SSD. I decided to rip the ad-hoc cache in ``scan_packages()``
out and refactor it into a more general purpose persistent, multiprocess cache
implemented on top of SQLite 3.x.
