Description:
This PR adds documentation and an example workflow demonstrating how to achieve restore-only caching with setup-node using the actions/cache.
The update is based on community feedback which proposed adding a restore-only flag to the action.
Instead of introducing new functionality, this documentation clarifies how users can already achieve this behavior using actions/cache.
