perf: clear vfs audit_cache before each run
When generating a stream clone, we spend a large amount of time auditing path.
Before this changes, the first run was warming the vfs cache for the other
runs, leading to a large runtime difference and a "faulty" reported timing for
the operation.
We now clear this important cache between run to get a more realistic timing.
Below are some example of median time change when clearing these cases. The
maximum time for a run did not changed significantly.

In addition, this significantly reduce the timing difference between the
performance command, from the perf extensions and a `real `hg bundle` call
producing a stream bundle. Some significant differences remain especially on
the "mozilla-try" repositories, but they are now smaller.
Note that some of that difference will actually not be
attributable to the stream generation (like maybe phases or branch map
computation).
Below are some benchmarks done on a currently draft changeset fixing some
unrelated slowness in `hg bundle` (34a78972af409d1ff37c29e60f6ca811ad1a457d)

'''measure performance of Mercurial commands
Using ``hgperf`` instead of ``hg`` measures performance of the target
Mercurial command. For example, the execution below measures
performance of :hg:`heads --topo`::
$ hgperf heads --topo
All command output via ``ui`` is suppressed, and just measurement
result is displayed: see also "perf" extension in "contrib".
Costs of processing before dispatching to the command function like
below are not measured::
- parsing command line (e.g. option validity check)
- reading configuration files in
But ``pre-`` and ``post-`` hook invocation for the target command is
measured, even though these are invoked before or after dispatching to
the command function, because these may be required to repeat
execution of the target command correctly.
