EntryCache: Add entry_cache_add_missing() for negative caching.

It provides a way for filesystems to cache a lookup failure and
therefore prevents repeated lookups of missing entries. This is a
common scenario for example in command lookup and compiling, where
each directory in PATH or each include directory is searched for the
given entry.
