manifest-cache: ignore IOError while writing

If the wcache directory is non writable for some reason (eg: belong to root).
Trying to write to it currently crash Mercurial. Instead we ignore the error and
skip writing that cache.

We should probably improve the user experience of multiple users interacting
with the same repository. However this is not an adventure for stable.
