Customize cache download timeout

[mrmeyers99]

Description:
I would like to be able to set a max time limit that it will spend downloading dependencies. If the download exceeds this time, then it would put a warning in the logs, but then proceed without a cache.

Justification:
Our project has a fairly large (4.5gb) maven cache and for some reason every once in a while the download will go really slow. I'm not sure if it's a problem on our self-hosted runner or on github's side, but it seems there's a built in time out for an hour. That's a really long time to wait for the cache to download. It normally takes about 80 seconds to download.

Are you willing to submit a PR?
Probably not

+1, I would also like to customize the timeout. The default is 1h, which is excessive IMHO. I have some GH Actions that take just 10m even without the cache, so it makes no sense to wait 1h. I would probably set the timeout at 1m if it were configurable.

A built in retry world be nice as well.

Hi, @FelixGV and @mrmeyers99, thanks for the feature request. As of version v3.2.1 of the package @actions/cache it's possible to control cache segment restore timeout https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache#cache-segment-restore-timeout. This package is used under the hood of our action. Instead of providing a similar functionality, I'd better update version of the @actions/cache to v3.2.1 and add information about this possibility into the README.md. What do you think?

[FelixGV]

Great, thanks @IvanZosimov, we can try that out.

[IvanZosimov]

Thanks, I'll ping you when the update of the @actions/cache to v3.2.1 is done.

[FelixGV]

Oh ok it's not done yet, I had misunderstood. Sounds good, LMK then.
