Lookups can be quite costly, more so the less specific they are.
Even if we find a matching font eventually, the next time the
user compiles Eir document E will have to stand through the delay
again.
Thus, some caching of results -- even between runs -- is in order.
We’ll just store successful name: lookups in a separate cache file.

type lookup_cache = (string, (string * num)) dict

Complete, needs testing:
 ×  1) add cache to dbobj
 ×  2) wrap lookups in cached versions
 ×  3) make caching optional (via the config table) for debugging
 ×  4) make names_update() cache aware (nil if “force”)
 ×  5) add logging
 ×  6) add cache control to luaotfload-tool
 ×  7) incr db version (now 2.203)
 ×  8) save cache only at the end of a run

The spec is modified in place (ugh), so we’ll have to catalogue what
fields actually influence its behavior.

Idk what the “spec” resolver is for.

        lookup      inspects            modifies
        file:       name                forced, name
        name:*      name, style, sub,   resolved, sub, name, forced
                    optsize, size
        spec:       name, sub           resolved, sub, name, forced

* name: contains both the name resolver from luatex-fonts and resolve()
  below

From my reading of font-def.lua, what a resolver does is
basically rewrite the “name” field of the specification record
with the resolution.
Also, the fields “resolved”, “sub”, “force” etc. influence the outcome.

Luatex-fonts, the font-loader package luaotfload imports, comes with
basic file location facilities (see luatex-fonts-syn.lua).
However, not only does the builtin functionality rely on Context’s font
name database, it is also too limited to be of more than basic use.
For this reason, luaotfload supplies its own resolvers that accesses
the font database created by the luaotfload-tool script.

  For the OS fonts, there are several options:
   - if OSFONTDIR is set (which is the case under windows by default but
     not on the other OSs), it scans it at the same time as the texmf tree,
     in the scan_texmf_fonts.
   - if not:
     - under Windows and Mac OSX, we take a look at some hardcoded directories
     - under Unix, we read /etc/fonts/fonts.conf and read the directories in it

  This means that if you have fonts in fancy directories, you need to set them
  in OSFONTDIR.
