Currently, Metadata cache is only available to foreground classes. However, some background classes also need Metadata cache.
- importer needs entry's metadata to generate cache from entry's modificationTime and size.
- file_operation_manager also needs entry's metadata to know progress based on entry's size.
It would be better to have background-wide metadata cache so that they do not have duplicates.
