Part of #227. Proposal: ComlineProject/docs#163, proposals/offline/supply.md#the-shared-cache.

Replace the per-package .comline/deps-cache/ with one content-addressed cache per machine, keyed by hash. Projects share it, and every copy is checked against its hash on the way in. Vendoring, mirrors and bundles all feed it.

Open: where it lives on each OS, and how it is cleaned.

    Decided (docs#163):

    • Location: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/comline on Linux, ~/Library/Caches/comline on macOS, %LOCALAPPDATA%\\comline\\cache on Windows. COMLINE_CACHE or cache-dir overrides it.
    • An optional read-only organisation layer sits underneath (e.g. /opt/comline/cache): read by everyone, written by no one.
    • No automatic eviction. Cleaning is explicit: comline cache list and comline cache prune (by age or size).
