Replace the -PskipVlcSetup=true CI bypass with a per-OS GitHub Actions
cache of ~/.gradle/vlcSetup. Cache key is hashFiles('desktopApp/build.gradle.kts')
so a VLC version bump invalidates cleanly; restore-keys lets unrelated
edits to that file still warm-start.
Cache hit: vlcDownload / upxDownload are up-to-date and we never touch
get.videolan.org. Cache miss (first run after version bump, or a new
runner): we fall back to the network, where the existing 5-attempt
retry budget in build.gradle.kts already handles flakes.
The skipVlcSetup property + AMETHYST_SKIP_VLC env hooks stay in
desktopApp/build.gradle.kts as a local-dev / CCW escape hatch — the
CCW egress can't reach get.videolan.org at all and has no actions/cache.
