Replace remote cache entry tables with hierarchical tables
Why is this change being made?
Replace remote cache entry tables with hierarchical tables
The *_remote_cache_entries tables used a single relative_path column
to identify cached content, discarding the structural richness of each
artifact format. Replace them with dedicated table hierarchies that
mirror the local content tables:
- Container:
container_remote_images,blobs,manifests,manifest_relationships,tags. - Maven:
maven_remote_packages,versions,files - npm:
npm_remote_packages,versions,tags,files

- Replace remote cache entry tables with hierarchical tables
The *_remote_cache_entries tables used a single relative_path column to identify cached content, discarding the structural richness of each artifact format. Replace them with dedicated table hierarchies that mirror the local content tables:
- Container: container_remote_images, blobs, manifests, manifest_relationships, tags (5 tables)
- Maven: maven_remote_packages, versions, files (3 tables)
- NPM: npm_remote_packages, versions, tags, files (4 tables)
Virtual local cache entry tables remain flat as they serve a different purpose (routing cache for upstream resolution).
