Log message:
        Introduce a readdir() cache, which substantially speeds up mandb's
        purging functions (from 2 minutes to under 45 seconds on my laptop,
        and from about 280000 to about 13500 system calls).
        
        * src/globbing.c (dirent_hash_free, update_directory_cache): New
        functions.
        (match_in_directory): Use update_directory_cache() rather than
        reading the directory on every call.
        * docs/NEWS: Document this.
