Tangentially, the whole silence functionality should be rewritten using Preferences.jl instead of mutating the package folder.

I am currently overwhelmed and refactoring to use Preferences.jl is not on my plate, but I support the change.

Currently, Revise hardcodes paths at compilation time, which prevents its pkgimage cache from being relocatable. This creates issues when forming Julia distributions like Jumbo that need relocatable package caches.
This PR addresses the issue by converting the hardcoded path constants to uninitialized globals that are assigned in the
__init__function instead. Limited testing shows that the relocated Revise works fine with this approach.
