Fix crashes in apt search, cache file
When BuildDepCaches() is called before BuildCaches() we end up with dereferencing a null pointer cache in the depcache constructor. Furthermore, in private-search, we check that Cache == NULL, but only after constructing the policy and records, which does not work reliably, because the records construction accesses the cache as well. LP: #1815187 Test-Case: ./build/bin/apt search -o RootDir=/dev/null foo
