Cloned to track release into R3_6_maintenance branch.


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #354888 +++

In the shared install scenario if we have some cache extensions set in the profile properties, we do not copy them over to the child profile when we create it. 

Since profiles are not cascaded, should we be copying these values? Perhaps to a new property? (org.eclipse.equinox.p2.cache.extensions.parent?) 

Otherwise as soon as anything is installed into the child profile, the cache extensions are lost.
