Use ccache in CIs. Set up GitHub Cache for storing the ccache data.

TODO:

  • Ccache does not work on Windows. Maybe we need to provide hints to cmake CI: Windows Clang-Cl w/ CCache #190
  • Ubuntu / [email protected] has 60% cache miss rate for unknown reasons. The reason seems to be the cache size was too small.
  • The CleanUpCache workflow does not work. It is supposed to triggered by the the completion of "👑 CI". But either the space (between the crown and the word CI) or the emoji is causing issues. The reason is this PR has not been merged yet. So the default branch does not have the workflow. (It would be a security issue if it updates cache according to a PR's instruction.)
  • Does CleanUpCachePostPR work? No reason it will not.
  • CodeQL

I think everything except Windows works now as expected.

The reason that CCache on Windows does not work might be that the VS build script generator is not supporting ccache (yet)?

I do that to make sure multi-config build generators work as expected, too.

We use Ninja as generator on AMReX Windows CI.
We can use Ninja for the Win Clang Debug build, too.

Use ccache in CIs. Set up GitHub Cache for storing the ccache data.

Unfortunately, the Ninja generator does not support toolset. I have restored windows.yml, since it does not work.

Thank you, let's address Windows CCache in a separate PR.
