* Fix concurrency issues in download-using-manifests' handling of the

SQLite manifest cache.  The DBI AutoCommit feature caused every
  process to have an active transaction at all times, which could
  indefinitely block processes wanting to update the manifest cache.

* Disable fsync() in the manifest cache because we don't need
  integrity (the cache can always be recreated if it gets corrupted).
