[I] Github Actions: Adding Caching? [daffodil-vscode]

["JeremyYao (via GitHub)" <gi...@apache.org>]

JeremyYao opened a new issue, #1294:
URL: https://github.com/apache/daffodil-vscode/issues/1294

   ### Description
   
   I happen to come across this article: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows. Looking at the current GitHub actions workflows, it seems that none of the workflows utilize caching. 
   
   Some snippets from the article: 
   
   Workflow runs often reuse the same outputs or downloaded dependencies from one run to another. For example, package and dependency management tools such as Maven, Gradle, npm, and Yarn keep a local cache of downloaded dependencies.
   
   Jobs on GitHub-hosted runners start in a clean runner image and must download dependencies each time, causing increased network utilization, longer runtime, and increased cost. To help speed up the time it takes to recreate files like dependencies, GitHub can cache files you frequently use in workflows.
   
   
   Would this be something that would benefit our workflows?
