Merge 'build: support (and prefer) sccache as the compiler cache' from Avi Kivity

Currently, we support ccache as the compiler cache. Since it is transparent, nothing
much is needed to support it.

This series adds support to sccache[1] and prefers it over ccache when it is installed.

sccache brings the following benefits over ccache:
1. Integrated distributed build support similar to distcc, but with automatic toolchain packaging and a scheduler
2. Rust support
3. C++20 modules (upcoming[2])

It is the C++20 modules support that motivates the series. C++20 modules have the potential to reduce
build times, but without a compiler cache and distributed build support, they come with too large
a penalty. This removes the penalty.

The series detects that sccache is installed, selects it if so (and if not overridden
by a new option), enables it for C++ and Rust, and disables ccache transparent
caching if sccache is selected.

Note: this series doesn't add sccache to the frozen toolchain or add dbuild support. That
is left for later.

[2] https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/pull/2516

Toolchain improvement, won't be backported.

Closes scylladb/scylladb#27834

* github.com:scylladb/scylladb:
  build: apply sccache to rust builds too
  build: prevent double caching by compiler cache
  build: allow selecting compiler cache, including sccache
