Serve a cache hit with no database read or write (closes #309)

A hit opens the variant file and nothing else: its content type comes
from the file's first bytes, and a file in no output format is a miss.
Its access time and hit count, and the access time of a cached source a
miss uses, go without waiting to the goroutine that wrote late counts,
which now writes them all once a second; each kind of access time waits
in a channel of 10,000 that drops the rest. checkNegativeCache leaves
expired rows to CleanExpired. The .meta files, metaCache, Lookup and
golang-lru go, with their tests. Dropping the .meta skip made the
variant and source reconciliation walks identical, so they share one.
make bench runs a parallel cache hit benchmark on the host, outside
make check.
