dbeab82a89 T91406: Asset Library Indexing
Asset library indexing would store indexes of asset files to speed up
asset library browsing.

* Indexes are read when they are up to date
** Index should exist
** Index last modify data should be later than the file it indexes
** Index version should match
* The index of a file containing no assets can be load without opening
   the index file. The size of the file should be below a 32 bytes.
* Indexes are stored on a persistent cache folder.
* Unused index files are automatically removed.

The structure of the index files contains all data needed for browsing assets:
```
{
  "version": <file version number>,
  "entries": [{
    "name": "<asset name>",
    "catalog_id": "<catalog_id>",
    "catalog_name": "<catalog_name>",
    "description": "<description>",
    "author": "<author>",
    "tags": ["<tag>"]
  }]
}
```
