This crate started off as generic caching utilities, but we started
adding a lot of Puffin-specific stuff (like the cache buckets
abstraction that knows about Git vs. direct URL vs. indexes and so on).
This PR moves the generic stuff into a new `cache-key` crate.
Filter out source dists and wheels whose `requires-python` from the
simple api is incompatible with the current python version.
This change showed an important problem: When we use a fake python
version for resolving, building source distributions breaks down because
we can only build with versions we actually have.
This change became surprisingly big. The tests now require python 3.7 to
be installed, but changing that would mean an even bigger change.
Fixes#388
This docker container provides isolation of source distribution builds,
whether [intended to be
helpful](https://pypi.org/project/nvidia-pyindex/) or other more or less
malicious forms of host system modification.

This PR massively speeds up the case in which you need to install wheels
that already exist in the global cache.
The new strategy is as follows:
- Download the wheel into the content-addressed cache.
- Unzip the wheel into the cache, but ignore content-addressing. It
turns out that writing to `cacache` for every file in the zip added a
ton of overhead, and I don't see any actual advantages to doing so.
Instead, we just unzip the contents into a directory at, e.g.,
`~/.cache/puffin/django-4.1.5`.
- (The unzip itself is now parallelized with Rayon.)
- When installing the wheel, we now support unzipping from a directory
instead of a zip archive. This required duplicating and tweaking a few
functions.
- When installing the wheel, we now use reflinks (or copy-on-write
links). These have a few fantastic properties: (1) they're extremely
cheap to create (on macOS, they are allegedly faster than hard links);
(2) they minimize disk space, since we avoid copying files entirely in
the vast majority of cases; and (3) if the user then edits a file
locally, the cache doesn't get polluted. Orogene, Bun, and soon pnpm all
use reflinks.
Puffin is now ~15x faster than `pip` for the common case of installing
cached data into a fresh environment.
