de-duplicate version strings in the cache
Turns out that version numbers aren't as random as you might guess. In my cache for example, I have: Total package names: 69513 (1390 k) Total package structures: 188259 (9036 k) Total distinct versions: 186345 (13.4 M) Total dependencies: 2052242 (57.5 M) which amounts to 1035873 (10,1 M) strings. Reusing version strings reduces this to 161465 (3.479 k). This comes at a cost of course: Generation is slightly slower, but we are still faster than what we started with and it makes room (also cache size wise) for further changes.
