Kamil Trzciński requested to merge add-support-for-cache-dir into master Apr 08, 2019

What does this MR do?

This defines a set of new variables to control local caches similar to GIT_CLONE_PATH:

LOCAL_CACHE_PATH: the directory where local cache path is stored, the cache can store user data or ci.yml zip archives,
CI_BUILDS_CACHE_DIR: the base directory as defined by Runner where all caches are stored,
CI_CACHE_DIR: the path where the per-project or user controlled cache is stored.

This also enforces that default builds and cache path is always set.
