Cache GOCACHE in CI

Pedro Pombeiro (OOO from July 16th till Aug 7th) requested to merge cache-GOCACHE into master

What does this MR do?

Adds caching for some Go-related jobs:

  • prebuild
    • helper images
    • tests definitions
  • build
    • binaries
  • test
    • lint
    • unit test
    • unit test with race
    • windows 1809 tests
    • windows 1903 tests
    • windows 1909 tests
    • git 1.7.1

The caches are per job and per branch.

Why was this MR needed?

To speed up the pipeline. The current gains are at around 4-9 minutes, but only for the second and subsequent runs of an MR pipeline. I'm expecting that performance gains will be more visible once !2076 (merged) is merged.

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

  • Currently the cache is also restored for master, but we want to avoid using the cache in the master branch to make sure the build is always reliable.

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

  • Documentation created/updated
  • Added tests for this feature/bug
  • In case of conflicts with master - branch was rebased

What are the relevant issue numbers?
