Subject: [PATCH] gitlab-ci: disable ccache when building changed aports (MR
 2020)

This disables ccache in the CI when building packages. I think ccache is
not necessary since the CI will never build a package twice in the same
pipeline, and ccache dir is not preserved for use between pipelines.
There is a real time cost to compiling with ccache enabled on the
initial compile (compressing objects for cache, etc), and some testing
with building the linux-purism-librem5 kernel in the CI shows this cost
can be significant... ~160 minutes when ccache is enabled vs ~105
minutes when it is disabled with this patch.

kernel compile CI runs referenced:

https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/pmaports/-/jobs/1087956999

Some testing on my laptop using osk-sdl with and without ccache for
initial compile:

ccache disabled:
$ rm _build -r && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 meson _build >/dev/null && CCACHE_DISABLE=1 time meson compile -C _build
ninja: Entering directory `_build'
