Saves time and resources downloading the IDF itself, all its submodules and build tools.
Just need to clear the cache if we update IDF versions.
The IDF itself is shared amongst all platforms
The build tools are specific to each OS
Total cache used is 5.58GB.
Note: Changed CI builds only to use a shallow clone for IDF (with submodules),
otherwise cache consumed hits 10.25GB which exceeds allowance.
Individually, the IDF size goes from from 1.5GB+ to 250MB.
Most of this is attributable to components/esp_wifi/libs.
Note: Windows esp32 tools come in around 1.1-1.3GB compared with 350-520MB for other OSes.
