Add a manpage for ca-store. Additionally, modify the 'file verify' command to behave exactly as the manpage mentions. This commit required me to break a cycle caused by having CAStore.Type.Text imported by CAStore.Type. |

ca-store
ca-store is a content-addressable store for your files, be they documents, pictures, videos, or whatever.
Usually when we store files we give them a filename, so that we can refer to its contents. If you are a developer you will probably get a file handle, or if you are working at a really low level you will probably get an inode number. Regardless of what you get, you can use it to access your files later.
A content-addressable store will instead give you an id that depends on the contents of the file itself. This makes it useful for storing large amounts of read only data.
