📄 Description

Cache split for system files (credentials and volume) and audio files. Retro-compatible by making the system cache the same as the audio cache if the option is not specified.

I kept the same directory tree for the audio cache by keeping the files directory, might not be needed.

Use case for this new option : splitting the cache into two : audio cache in a temporary directory, for example a tmpfs in RAM to minimize writes to the SD card when used on a Raspberry, but system cache in a "permanent" directory, to be available across reboots. Even on a normal PC, you may want to use the HDD for the audio cache and the SSD for system cache to minimize the number of writes on your SSD.

Happy to change anything if needed, this is my first time writing some Rust
