scalar: .scalarCache should live above enlistment

We should not be putting the .scalarCache inside the enlistment as a
sibling to the 'src' directory. This only happens in "unattended" mode,
but it also negates any benefit of a shared object cache because each
enlistment absolutely does not share any objects with others.

Move the shared object cache in this case to a level above the
enlistment, so at least there is some hope that it can be reused. This
is also critical to the upcoming --no-src option, since the shared
object cache cannot be located within the Git repository.
