util/fscache: add cachedir-tag support

Browse source 
The cachedir-tag specification defines how to mark directories as
cache-directories. This allows tools like `tar` to ignore those
directories if desired (e.g., see `tar --ignore-caches`). This is very
useful to avoid huge cache-directories in backups and remote
synchronizations.

The spec simply defines a file called `CACHEDIR.TAG` with the first 43
bytes to be: "Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55" (which
happens to be the MD5-checksum of ".IsCacheDirectory". Further content
is to be ignored. Any such files marks the directory in question as a
cache-directory.

The cachedir-tag has been successfully deployed in tools like `cargo`
and `VLC`, and is currently discussed to be implemented in Firefox. More
information is available here: https://bford.info/cachedir/
