rattler-build could potentially cache execution of inner build command #978

Currently, when re-building a Rust recipe and using cargo install, the process downloads and compiles the crates again. We could potentially cache the downloaded crates to make re-building the recipe faster and it can be also utilized by other builds. This could be an explicit option ( for example as flatpak does--ccache as suggested by @Hofer-Julian )
