asset pulls get rate-limited in tests

[busma13]

If too many jobs in our test suite use @terascope/fetch-github-release to download assets at the same time our github account gets rate-limited, causing the test job to fail.

We could do a couple of things:

• cache the assets in github in an automated workflow(daily?) and pull from the cache in each job
• run one job at the start of each workflow run that pulls assets and passes them into all the jobs that need them

Does fetch-github-release have a local caching mechanism?

No it doesn't. I don't believe this would help in CI since all jobs run in separate runners, so they all have their own instance of fetch-github-release

Or do you mean that fetch-github-release will check a specified cache before making a request to github?
