Make on-disk index representation separate from in-core one

This converts the index explicitly on read and write to its on-disk
format, allowing the in-core format to contain more flags, and be
simpler.

In particular, the in-core format is now host-endian (as opposed to the
on-disk one that is network endian in order to be able to be shared
across machines) and as a result we can dispense with all the
htonl/ntohl on accesses to the cache_entry fields.

This will make it easier to make use of various temporary flags that do
not exist in the on-disk format.
