Allow to overwrite ACTIONS_CACHE_URL environment variable

The runner script sets the `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` using the value from the
system connection. Currently, there's no way to override it.

Some community users use custom cache solutions with self-hosted
runners. They need to maintain a fork of `actions/runner` or
`actions/toolkit`, and `actions/cache` to override the value in their
solution. However it leads to significant maintenance work.

If the runner script allows the `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` value to be
overridden by the `CUSTOM_ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` environment variable, it
makes life a lot easier for the community, includes myself.

An alternative solution could involve allowing the base URL value in
`actions/toolkit` to be overridden. Several individuals have submitted
similar PRs to this one actions/toolkit#1695,
but they have not received adequate attention from the maintainers.
