Cache dependencies by workflow instead of job #166

Describe Request:

Would be nice to have this api:

      - node/install-packages:
          pkg-manager: yarn
          cache-path: ~/home/circleci/
          cache-version: "v1.2"
          cache-by: "workflow" # default is "job"

ATM the cache key contains the job name, and I'd like too my jobs to share the cache.

This is currently not possible with the CircleCI's caching abilities and available information within a job. Each "job" on CircleCI is essentially completely unaware that it is part of a workflow, and the orb runs within the context of that running job.
