Remove legacy build directory caching
Description
In !1319 (merged) we added back the old way of how we cache the build directory for Docker since it causes regressions like #4174 (closed). However, the old behavior is incorrect and we should remove this earlier then %13.0 becuase %13.0 is a little long (1 year from now as of the time of writing)
