Configurable save cache on failure

See original GitHub issue

Currently this cache action will only save caches if all tests succeed. In many cases this is desirable behavior. However I have some projects with long build times and flakey test suites. It would be very helpful if I could configure the cache to be saved regardless of the test suite success or failure.

I have created a fork of this project action to set the post-if to always().

Is it possible to make the cache policy configurable? Or to pass post-if as an argument from the cache configuration?

Seems like it would make a lot of sense in some circumstances.

Say I have following steps:

install dependencies (success)
check code style (fail)
post cache (skip)

It would make sense if post cache could happen conditionally on success of dependencies install, code style step is irrelevant to it.
