This changeset integrates the layer info cache with the registry webapp and
storage backend. The main benefit is to cache immutable layer meta data,
reducing backend roundtrips. The cache can be configured to use either redis or
an inmemory cache.
This provides massive performance benefits for HEAD http checks on layer blobs
and manifest verification.

The method (Registry).Repository may now return an error. This is too allow
certain implementationt to validate the name or opt to not return a repository
under certain conditions.
In conjunction with this change, error declarations have been moved into a
single file in the distribution package. Several error declarations that had
remained in the storage package have been moved into distribution, as well. The
declarations for Layer and LayerUpload have also been moved into the main
registry file, as a result.

After consideration, it has been decided that the interfaces defined in the
storage package provide a good base for interacting with various registry
instances. Whether interacting with a remote API or a local, on-disk registry,
these types have proved flexible. By moving them here, they can become the
central components of interacting with distribution components.

This change is slightly more complex than previous package maves in that the
package name changed. To address this, we simply always reference the package
driver as storagedriver to avoid compatbility issues with existing code. While
unfortunate, this can be cleaned up over time.
