journal: introduce entry array chain cache
When traversing entry array chains for a bisection or for retrieving an
item by index we previously always started at the beginning of the
chain. Since we tend to look at the same chains repeatedly, let's cache
where we have been the last time, and maybe we can skip ahead with this
the next time.
This turns most bisections and index lookups from O(log(n)*log(n)) into
O(log(n)). More importantly however, we seek around on disk much less,
which is good to reduce buffer cache and seek times on rotational disks.
