Cache results from video file hash calculation to avoid spinning up disks

The video file hash calculation process can cause disks to spin up, which can be undesirable (especially when using a computer with several disks).
The 'Skip video file hash calculation' option can prevent this - but then we lose the benefit of hashing (more confident matches etc).
A solution to this could be to keep hashing switched on, but to then cache the results from video file hash calculation. The cache can then be used for subsequent searches (unless new video files are detected).
