nix search: Add a cache
The package list is now cached in ~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to "nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD): First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache) $ time nix search blender Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender Package name: blender Version: 2.78c Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System real 0m6.516s Second run: (package search cache populated) $ time nix search blender Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender Package name: blender Version: 2.78c Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System real 0m0.143s
