Implement a filename cache to allow for name based URIs

It's becoming too fragile to use item IDs as path elements. Beyond the problems with clients that don't use copy names, there are a bunch of situtations where a path sent by a client could be an id or a filename and it's not 100% possible to tell them apart.
    
When the initial feature set of very limited, this wasn't much of an issue, but with direct read/write support, we are now exposed to a huge set of clients (as opposed to just file managers) with no ability to recognise copy names, and
which generate a lot of mixed form paths, so we're past the tipping point where it's now less of a hassle to maintain a name to id mapping.

The patch provided depends on the patches for bug 695984 so I'm making the bug depend as well.
