Description

When I was trying to update AppVeyor build to use Python 3.10 in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-17892 CI build gave me an error about the pyuv source install: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ApacheSoftwareFoundation/arrow/builds/44974788#L884

After some investigation me and Joris found that clcache project used in the AppVeyor setup is archived and it's dependency pyuv is no longer maintained.

Is there any substitute for clcache?

There is a PR from [~willjones127] that changes the documentation to advise a use of https://github.com/Nuitka/clcache . That project is unfortunately also depending on pyuv. 

But is there any other alternative to these two projects? cc Raúl Cumplido Jacob Wujciak 

Arrow C++ documentation

The use of clcache is still mentioned in our C++ docs and should be updated/removed.
