Subject: [PATCH 16/24] cache.h: remove this no-longer-used header

From: "Elijah Newren via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 07 May 2023 03:45:41 +0000

From: Elijah Newren <[email-masked]>

Since this header showed up in some places besides just #include
statements, update/clean-up/remove those other places as well.

Note that compat/fsmonitor/fsm-path-utils-darwin.c previously got
away with violating the rule that all files must start with an include
of git-compat-util.h (or a short-list of alternate headers that happen
to include it first).  This change exposed the violation and caused it
to stop building correctly; fix it by having it include
git-compat-util.h first, as per policy.
