getdeps: add build cache abstraction
Summary: This diff adds a small abstraction that allows for uploading and downloading from an artifact cache. We try to download from this cache at build time, but will only try to populate it for continuous builds--those are built from code that has been reviewed and landed on master. This restriction helps to avoid thrashing the cache with works in progress and results in a slightly more trustworthy state of the cache contents. In addition to this, we choose only to cache third party projects. The rationale is that our first party projects move too quickly to be worth caching, especially since the cache granularity is for the whole project rather than just changed elements of a given project. In a later diff I will introduce some implementations of the cache class that work with eg: Travis or Circle CI caching.
