Description
GitHub provides a free 10 GiB cache for every repo: we should be storing the Swift toolchain and SDKs that we download in these workflows there, so that repeated CI runs don't hit the swift.org servers all the time.

Research direction
Start by locating the workflows that download the Swift toolchain and SDKs, then review how the provided actions/cache workflow can cover those downloads. Verify repeated CI runs restore the cached tools instead of contacting swift.org, while a cache miss still completes the downloads successfully.
