global registry of duct "prefixes" and a collection of con-duct suite commands to work with it

[yarikoptic]

somewhere under ~/.cache directory (check how platformdirs takes that cache location but we should avoid adding dependency) store a collection of prefixes with abs paths, so if I run duct somewhere with some DUCT_OUTPUT_PREFIX we would know that and add con-duct locations and -a|--all-locations to con-duct ls (#185) .

Also con-duct locations check [--prune] command would then check if locations still exist (may be folder was removed etc) and optionally prune

This would also enable to develop some simple con-duct search to find where/when a particular command was ran (and how long it took etc).

This way poor @yarikoptic would be able to find his prior analyses etc.

Implementation vise -- to avoid need for locking / avoid race conditions, idea could be simply to write simple text files named based on hash value (e.g. md5sum) of the simple json stored within such as {"cwd": cwd, "output_prefix": DUCT_OUTPUT_PREFIX} . So if file exists already -- location is known and nothing to do . If does not exist - quickly create and ignore error while conflicting -- two processes would try to create identical files.

then command would just go and load all those files. --prune would remove some which no longer found etc.
