📄 Description

This PR aims to improve build times in CI, Linux and macOS building steps have improved by a LOT!
Unfortunately, Windows still can't cache, even using sccache with MSVC.

• Partially solves (#542)

Changes:

• uses actions/cache@v4 and hendrikmuhs/ccache-action@v1.2.14
• Keeps the cache from CMake Cache configuration (Windows, Linux, macOS).
• Keeps the cache from CMake build objects (Linux/macOS).
• Linux is using ccache from hendrikmuhs/ccache-action@v1.2.14.
• macOS is using sccache from hendrikmuhs/ccache-action@v1.2.14.
• Windows is caching the CMake Configuration step only, I've tried most stuff to force the use of caching, but without success, if anyone is willing to try, I've written some instructions below. I'm done with it.

Known Issues:

• Using same cache name/hash for each OS will create new bugs like macOS-sdl trying to build with Qt. (Fixed)
• The first CI run is not cached, the first time is when the cache is stored in here.
• There is a limit for how many cache GitHub actions can store, see here.
• Using CCache with Windows didn't work as expected, but did not broke the actions.
  • The only way that may work (needs testing and time) is by using MSYS2 MINGW64 and installing the packages:
  • mingw-w64-x86_64-ccache or mingw-w64-x86_64-sccache
  • It's worth noticing that MSYS2-compiled versions will only work under the MSYS2 shell, on native Windows will crash, even if you've copied the DLLs. (see action here)
• Using CCache with macOS will break the actions. Fixed by using sccache instead.

There are some regression for some tests, but the most results are beneficial to CI building time.
Update: the regressions for Windows and macOS were fixed, and brings about a minute less of compile time.

Comparisons:

	Before Caching	After Caching
Linux	10m 13s	2m 10s
Linux-Qt	11m 27s	3m 5s
macOS	5m 39s	2m 58s
macOS-Qt	6m 54s	4m 8s
Windows	17m 50s	14m 39s
Windows-Qt	18m 15s	20m 11s (Fixed)
