orbiter 826ca79735 refactoring and new architecture to store the files of the web cache:
- files are not stored any more as individual files
- a new database structure using BLOBHeap files stores many cache entries in common files
- all file-writing procedures had been migrated to generate byte[] objects which are written with the new database methods

this is only an intermediate step to the final architecture, where cached files are written together with their metadata in one single database structure.
