Feature request

What is the current behavior?

yarn creates ~/.yarn-cache/ folder, which is getting backed up automatically by macOS's Time Machine, which unnecessarily bloats the backups.

What is the expected behavior?

Yarn could use ~/Library/Caches/… to store its cache. This is the usual location for caches on macOS, and the system avoids unnecessarily backing it up.

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

yarn 0.16.1, node v6.9.0, macOS 10.11.6
