refactor: write GOCACHEPROG cache into GOCACHE

Writing the GOCACHEPROG to GOCACHE allows
us to use the existing go tooling for cache.

To clean the cache run `go clean -cache`

+To clean the cache, you can use the typical `go clean` workflow:
+
+```shell
+go clean -cache
+```

+If you are in multiple Depot organizations and want to specify the organization, you can use the `--organization` flag.

 ### `depot configure-docker`
 
 Configure Docker to use Depot's remote builder infrastructure. This command installs Depot as a Docker CLI plugin (i.e., `docker depot ...`) and sets the Depot plugin as the default Docker builder (i.e., `docker build`).
