In several places in the old code, we had problems that only an
in-memory index of diff status could solve, including:
* Remembering which diffs were in-progress, so that we didn't
re-launch them.
* Remembering which diffs had failed, so that we didn't try to
recompute them over and over.
* Having a fast way to look up the diff from a given consensus to
the latest consensus of a given flavor.
This patch adds a hashtable mapping from (flavor, source diff), to
solve the problem. It maps to a cache entry handle, rather than to
a cache entry directly, so that it doesn't affect the reference
counts of the cache entries, and so that we don't otherwise need to
worry about lifetime management.
