irmap: Introduce irmap on-disk cache
When dumping fsnotifies we may go to irmap to get inode->path
mapping. The irmap engine scans FS (in hinted locations) to
get one and it is slow even though we scan only part of the FS.
Since the above scanning is done while tasks are frozen the
freeze time goes up :(
Improve the situation by generating irmap cache in working dir
at pre-dump when tasks get unfrozen.
The on-disk irmap cache is PB file, it sits in -W directory
and can be loaded on dump/pre-dump start in memory. When
resolving the inode->path mapping irmap may meet these entries,
revalidate them and potentially save time.
After pre-dump the (re-)collected irmap data is written back
to irmap cache image. Typically entries written back are the
same read in on cache load.
