Description
### Description of the feature request:
I can see in CacheHitReportingModule (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/ab371fe096b1ea05fba1cf686c7d6ae15c5d21fa/src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/repository/CacheHitReportingModule.java) that events are emitted from the DownloadManager
However information on how many hits to the repository_cache were made are not available in the BEP or the logs in any fashion.
There seems to be some informational log messages only in the case of a failure.
It might be nice to emit more info to help understand which artifacts were found in the repository_cache vs. which are not.
This would help understand and catch cases where we are not caching like we believe we are.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with src/main/java/com/google/devtools/build/lib/bazel/repository/CacheHitReportingModule.java and trace the DownloadManager events it consumes. Review how repository_cache failures are logged and how related data could appear in the BEP or logs. Done means users can distinguish repository_cache hits from misses and inspect useful hit statistics.
