subrepo: add "_cachestorehashvfs" to handle cache store hash files via vfs

This "vfs" object will be used by subsequent patches to handle cache
store hash files without direct file APIs.

This patch decorates "_cachestorehashvfs" with "@propertycache" to
delay vfs creation, because it is used only for cooperation with other
repositories.

In this patch, "/" is used as the path separator, even though
"self._repo.join" uses platform specific path separator (e.g. "\\" on
Windows). But it is reasonable enough, because "store" and other
management file handling already include such implementation, and they
work well.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
