filecache: unimplement __set__() and __delete__() (API)

Implementing __set__() implies that the descriptor can't be overridden by
obj.__dict__, which means any property access involves slow function call.

  "Data descriptors with __set__() and __get__() defined always override
  a redefinition in an instance dictionary. In contrast, non-data descriptors
  can be overridden by instances."

  https://docs.python.org/2.7/reference/datamodel.html#invoking-descriptors

This patch basically backs out 236bb604dc39, "scmutil: update cached copy
when filecached attribute is assigned (issue3263)." The problem described
in issue3263 (which is #3264 in Bugzilla) should no longer happen since
repo._bookmarkcurrent has been moved to repo._bookmarks.active. We still
have a risk of introducing similar bugs, but I think that's the cost we
have to pay.
