It's stored in ~/.cache/kdevduchain/ by default, or whatever XDG cache
directory is specified.

You don't want to have it in project/.kdev4/* because:
- It's not a per-project cache, but per-session.
- many people use distributed file systems, if it's not with the
cache, the system struggles to keep updating the cache through the
network and the experience is terrible.
