Add a new input to skip cache updates

[ozancaglayan]

Description:

When this action is used with caching enabled, PRs and non-main branches creates new cache artifacts which may be overwhelming. This can be mitigated if something like skip-cache-update: bool option is added and users define it as false if the action runs in a branch that is not main. This would skip the post stage of the action to effectively cancel the cache pushing.

Hello Everyone, Thank you for your feature request. The idea of adding a skip-cache-update option to control cache updates is valuable; however, it could increase complexity for users, and there’s a risk of missing out on potential caching benefits. Additionally, it would require maintenance and documentation updates.
We appreciate your suggestion and will continue to evaluate other ways to optimize caching.
