Add path to cache hash
Without the `st_dev` the `st_ino` is no longer enough to uniquely identify a file. A disadvantage of including the mtime in the hash is that changed previews don't overwrite the old cache path so the cached grows faster. We use the path to the file to uniquely identify a device. We concatenate it with the `st_ino` which ensures that replacing a file is not enough to cause a collision. This is hashed to create the cache path. Every time we check whether a preview is cached we verify that the file being preview is as old or older than the cached preview. The only differences from the original scheme are the algorithm (SHA-512 now), accepting previews of with the same mtime as the original file and including the inode identifier in the hash.
