_cache_invalid returning 0 implies that the cache has been deemed stale
not that it is invalid. So _retrieve_cache will happily use it and
return 0.

This also bears out in practice: _yum was never updating its cache.

"invalid" is a poor choice of name for it - so another reason why I
wouldn't mind getting rid of it.
