Description

The astroquery API allows for users to submit cached alias queries like this:
```
from astroquery.ipac.nexsci.nasa_exoplanet_archive import NasaExoplanetArchive
aliases = NasaExoplanetArchive.query_aliases(
"HAT-P-11", cache=True
)
```
but the function doesn't do anything with the value `cache` (see [source](https://github.com/astropy/astroquery/blob/540c690fb1dc88dd2b4a7e613fe67c3fea71c341/astroquery/ipac/nexsci/nasa_exoplanet_archive/core.py#L376-L415)). Would it be possible to cache aliases?
