Description
It doesn't make sense to cache packages when they're present in a context bundle (the variant payloads are already effectively localized). Update so that caching is always disabled in bundles.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the context-bundle handling and the package-caching decision in the Rez codebase. Trace how bundle variant payloads are processed, then verify that packages present in a context bundle never use caching.
