Azure CI: Cache (BLAST-WarpX#2615)

* run_test: WARPX_CI_TMP

Allow to use a fixed instead of a unique temporary directory.
This will help `ccache` to cache compliation, because absolute
paths do not change anymore between builds.

* Azure CI: Cache

Try to use caching for as much as possible on Azure.
This might help to reuse AMReX objects between our weekly updates.
It might also be just way too large and get evicted quickly.
