Prevent Gerrit from starting when the cache dir is not writeable

When the cache directory was not accessible and writeable by the Gerrit
user, an error was logged but Gerrit was starting without persistent
cache anyway.

Do not hide cache directory issues but rather expose the error so that
the Gerrit server will not start inadvertently without persistent cache.

Install the chronicle-map module into the $GERRIT_SITE/lib directory.

Add the cache-chroniclemap module to $GERRIT_SITE/etc/gerrit.config as follows:
