For binary caching, we should follow the XDG base directory specification[1] on non-Windows platforms. This means we should use
~/.cache/vcpkg/archivesas the default package storage location instead of~/.vcpkg/archives.On Windows, the appropriate per-user base directory is
%LOCALAPPDATA%, so we will use%LOCALAPPATA%/vcpkg/archives.[1] https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
