manifest: make one use of _mancache avoid manifestctxs

In a future patch we will change manifestctx and treemanifestctx to no longer
derive from manifestdict and treemanifest, respectively. This means that
consumers of the _mancache will now need to be aware of the different between
the two, until we get rid of the manifest entirely and the _mancache becomes
only filled with ctxs.

This fixes one case of it that can be fixed by using the other cache. Future
patches will address the others uses using the upcoming manifestctx.read()
function.

Synopsis
""""""""
**hg-ssh** repositories...

Description
"""""""""""
**hg-ssh** is a wrapper for ssh access to a limited set of mercurial repos.

To be used in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys with the "command" option, see sshd(8):
command="hg-ssh path/to/repo1 /path/to/repo2 ~/repo3 ~user/repo4" ssh-dss ...
(probably together with these other useful options:
no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding)

This allows pull/push over ssh from/to the repositories given as arguments.

If all your repositories are subdirectories of a common directory, you can
allow shorter paths with:
command="cd path/to/my/repositories && hg-ssh repo1 subdir/repo2"

You can use pattern matching of your normal shell, e.g.:
command="cd repos && hg-ssh user/thomas/* projects/{mercurial,foo}"

You can also add a --read-only flag to allow read-only access to a key, e.g.:
command="hg-ssh --read-only repos/\*"
