nodemap: use data from the index in debugnodemap --dump-new

It is better to run the actual code when generating a new nodemap cache from
scratch. So we do.

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.
