In the scope of this pull request, the possibility of caching go dependency files and compiler's build outputs was added. Such input parameters as cache and cache-dependency-path were added.

For now, cache input will accept the following values:

true - enable caching for go dependency files and build outputs
false - disable caching for go dependency files and build outputs (default value)

cache-dependency-path input is used to specify the path to a dependency file - go.sum

Description
Action will try to search go.sum file in the repository root or in any other location which is specified in cache-dependency-path input and throw an error if no one is found. The hash of the found file will be used as a cache key ( the same approach as actions/cache recommends). The following key cache will be used: ${{ runner.os }}-go${{ go-version }}-${{ hashFiles('<go.sum-path>') }}

Examples of use-cases:

• cache input only

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
  with:
    go-version: '18'
    cache: true

• cache along with cache-dependency-path

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-go@v3
 with:
   go-version: '18'
   cache: true
   cache-dependency-path: **/go.sum

Linked ADR: #217

Note:
It's not breaking change because it requires an additional field and nothing changes by default.

What's done:

• Implementation of go dependency files and compiler's build outputs caching
• Adding unit tests for caching implementation
• Updating documentation
• Updating licenses
