WebView still reads resources from the cache with `cacheEnabled={false}`

See original GitHub issue

Bug description: If you have a WebView component with cacheEnabled={false}, the WebView will still get resources from the memory cache.

To Reproduce: Create a component with <WebView cacheEnabled={false} uri={{ ... }} />. The URI should be to a website with resources that may be cached such as CSS files.

Expected behavior: Web resources should neither be cached nor read from the cache. If you update a CSS file and revisit the corresponding page in a WebView, it should download the new resources.

Screenshots/Videos: Screen Shot 2019-09-18 at 5 24 28 PM Safari Developer tools show the page reading resources from the Memory Cache. This happens even if you go to Develop > Empty Caches in Safari.

Environment:

OS: Mac OS
OS version: 10.14.6
react-native version: 0.60.0
react-native-webview version: 5.12.1
