* Make portdbapi.aux_get() automatically pull pre-generated metadata
directly from the metadata/cache/ directory when metadata-transfer
is not enabled in FEATURES. This makes all cache modules behave
similar to existing metadata_overlay module, except when
FEATURES="metadata-transfer" has been explicitly enabled.
* Remove metadata-transfer from FEATURES in make.globals so that it's
no longer enabled by default. Users will be happy about this since
the "Updating Portage cache" part of emerge --sync can be more time
consuming than the rsync run itself. It's also nicer when when using
PORTDIR over nfs or bind mounted in a chroot since there's no need
to run emerge --metadata.
* Update FEATURES="metadata-transfer" docs to warn users of the rsync
tree to modify eclases in PORTDIR_OVERLAY if necessary instead of
doing it directly in the rsync tree.
* Relevant updates to /etc/portage/modules docs.
