copies-rust: rename TimeStampedPathCopies to InternalPathCopies We are looking into moving away from TimeStampedPathCopy (that use is_ancestors call to detect overwrite) in favor of an approach that does not requires is_ancestors calls. Yet we will still need an internal representation that differs from the returned result. So we call it "InternalPathCopies" which is generic but clear.

This directory is meant to cache artifacts useful for tests (such as bundle).

Those artifacts need to be cached because they are slow to regenerate on each
test but too large to be tracked within the repository. They are not expected
to change between each run and can be cached.

The `./scripts/` contains code to generate the artifact while the `cache`
directory contains resulting artifact.
