Fix: Deleting an Entry could leave artifacts in cache

This patch fixes a bug we did not even hit (yet). It is: When deleting
an Entry from the store, this could potentially leave artifacts in the
cache.

Szenario: An Entry, which was loaded (via `Store::get()` for example),
gets `Store::delete()`ed twice. The first call would work as expected,
but leave the Entry in the Store cache. The second call would then fail,
as the Entry is already removed on the FS, but still in the cache. This
would fail - which is the right thing to do here - but with the wrong
error (with a FileError rather than a FileNotFound error).

This patch fixes this.

First of all, the appropriate `PathBuf` object is calculated in all
cases, as this object is needed to check whether the file is actually
there (which could be the case if the Entry is in the cache and if it is
not).

If the entry is in the cache and is borrowed: error. If not, remove the
entry from the cache. Afterwards the file is deleted on disk.

If the entry is not in the cache, but the file exists, the file is removed.
If the file does not exist: error.
