Is Your Feature Request Related To A Problem? Please describe.

Starting with Chocolatey CLI, a number of HTTP requests are cached, and the results reused in subsequent queries. It is possible to bypass this cache using the --ignore-http-cache option, but you have to explicitly set this option each time, there is no way to set this globally. It should be possible to opt into this globlaly, similar to what can be done with the allowGlobalConfirmation feature.

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

A new feature named alwaysIgnoreHttpCache should be added, which will do the same thing as the --ignore-http-cache option, but it means that it won't need to be provided to each command that is being executed.

Additional Context

There already exists a common option --ignore-http-cache that can be used to bypass the cache, but enabling the alwaysIgnoreHttpCache would remove the need to always explicitly opt into this.

A decision has been made to not include the reciprocal option for --use-http-cache, as that is deemed as not required. Again, as per the decision here, if there is enough demand, we can look to include this option, but for now, the workaround would be to disable the alwaysIgnoreHttpCache feautre.
