epriestley 957249f56c Disable lint cache by default
Summary:
Fixes T2266. Motivation:

  - The lint cache does not always invalidate correctly. Because of the nature of the cache, this is a hard problem (right after "naming things").
    - We already have a fair amount of complexity in trying to invalidate it, and are still discovering new places where it doesn't work (e.g., Windows with "/" vs "\" paths).
    - One invalidation failure is when linter code changes, which seems unresolvable in the general case (e.g., changes to external linters).
  - It's not obvious what's happening when the lint cache causes some kind of issue.
    - Particularly while developing or debugging linters, your changes often won't be reflected in the lint output. Some of this is theoretically tractable but the external linter case probably isn't.
  - When someone reports a problem with the lint cache in IRC or elsewhere, there is essentially never a way for me to fix it. The lint cache can't be debugged effectively without access to a working copy where the problem reproduces.
  - The cache provides limited benefit outside of Facebook's install.

To remedy these issues:

  - Introduce configuration which controls cache usage.
  - Default it off.
  - Print a message when the cache is in use.

(I'd tentatively support removing the cache entirely, but I don't know how @vrana and Facebook feel about that.)

Test Plan: Ran `arc set-config --show`, `arc lint --cache 0`, `arc lint --cache 1`.
