Change cache location on Mac/Windows

See original GitHub issue

Currently, the base image cache is located at:

Mac: $HOME/Library/Application Support/google-cloud-tools-java/jib/
Win: %LOCALAPPDATA/google-cloud-tools-java/jib/

It may be a good idea to change these to:

Mac: $HOME/Library/Caches/Google/Jib/
Win: %LOCALAPPDATA/Google/Jib/Cache/

We may need to come up with a migration strategy so we don’t break users who rely heavily on the cache (e.g. offline users).

We may need to come up with a migration strategy so we don’t break users who rely heavily on the cache (e.g. offline users).

I’m leaning toward documentation rather than adding code to do automatic migration for a number of reasons.

The Win cache should be in %LOCALAPPDATA%/Google/Jib/Cache just to be clear that it can be removed without affecting other possible configuration files.
