The cache round-trip (download + unpack) was consistently taking
around 6 minutes, noticeably longer than the ~3 minute cold build
it was meant to accelerate. Net-negative on CI time — remove it.
sccache with the S3 backend still provides dep-level caching at a
much lower overhead, so we keep the majority of the cache benefit
without paying the actions/cache tarball cost.
