Reduce CI time using caching (#180)

* caching a little bit

* provide CMake with the explicit path to sccache.exe

* map ACTIONS_RESULTS_URL to ACTIONS_CACHE_URL so sccache can upload the
files...

* i removed the parallel oops

* small change

* doing a little bit of flag editing

* update sccache and cache nuget stuff

+    Start-Process -Wait waits for the whole process tree, since a .NET single-file bundle host may

     -StepId emits the machine-readable form the installer's progress bar consumes (BuildStepIds in
     WiiCompiled.Setup/InstallProgress.cs); the human sentence stays on the same log line.
