Keep variant content types in memory for cache hits (closes #70)
check / check (push) Successful in 14s

Cache.metaCache was declared and never used, so every cache hit read
and parsed the variant's .meta file. It is now an LRU
(github.com/hashicorp/golang-lru/v2) of up to 10,000 variants' content
types, filled by StoreVariant and by a read of a .meta file, so a hit
for a variant it holds skips the .meta read. Only a type from a .meta
file or a store ever enters memory, never the application/octet-stream
fallback, and a stored type is never replaced by an older one from
disk. The variant file itself is still opened on every hit, so nothing
is served from memory alone.
