"""Store and retrieve metadata in destination directory

The plan is to store metadata information for all files in the
destination directory in a special metadata file.  There are two
reasons for this:

1)  The filesystem of the mirror directory may not be able to handle
    types of metadata that the source filesystem can.  For instance,
    rdiff-backup may not have root access on the destination side, so
    cannot set uid/gid.  Or the source side may have ACLs and the
    destination side doesn't.

	Hopefully every file system can store binary data.  Storing
	metadata separately allows us to back up anything (ok, maybe
	strange filenames are still a problem).

2)  Metadata can be more quickly read from a file than it can by
    traversing the mirror directory over and over again.  In many
    cases most of rdiff-backup's time is spent compaing metadata (like
    file size and modtime), trying to find differences.  Reading this
    data sequentially from a file is significantly less taxing than
    listing directories and statting files all over the mirror
    directory.

The metadata is stored in a text file, which is a bunch of records
concatenated together.  Each record has the format:

File <filename>
  <field_name1> <value>
  <field_name2> <value>
  ...

Where the lines are separated by newlines.  See the code below for the
field names and values.
