sidedatacopies: write copies information in sidedata when applicable

If the format of the repository indicate it stores copies information into
changeset's sidedata, then we actually write that information into sidedata at
commit time. It will be put to use in later changesets.

Currently, we store all field unconditionally, but that is likely to change in
the future for the sake of efficiency.

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.
