Description

### Describe the enhancement requested

PyArrow's cmake setup should detect `sccache` just like the C++ one does.

This would make some Python Crossbow builds slightly faster by caching the results of PyArrow's C++ compilation steps.

### Component(s)

Continuous Integration, Python

Research direction

Start by comparing PyArrow's CMakeLists detection of ccache with the existing C++ CMake setup that detects sccache. Verify the resulting configuration in a Python Crossbow build; done means sccache is detected and can cache PyArrow's C++ compilation steps.
