📄 Description

Windows CI time was too slow, so our hero @Artalus managed to find a way to use Ninja generator with ccache and bring down the build time to ~4/5 min.

Fully resolves #542

Extra changes

Use simple cache names and cache step names to be more concise and cleaner for all OSes;
Remove unused DLLs from Windows builds.

Expect all caches to be regenerated, so the first run is not cached and will be around ~10min.
