GitHub CI: use sccache for commits build

Description

A job with a relatively large number of commits (>10) will spend a long time on the commits build. This can possibly run faster by using sccache. Installing sccache itself takes time, at least from source, so perhaps we could use a prebuild version.

This is actually done, https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/858ab077752478ec0df2e6312353f36860a47c52, and in master now.

We can see its actually used if you open the sccache stats in a GitHub CI build: https://github.com/OISF/suricata/runs/3575433709?check_suite_focus=true#step:13:1

If I'm not mistaken we use it only for the Rust code? I should be able to cache C compiler as well. In large PRs this might help a lot as well.
