Description

Most tasks have a cache attribute (undocumented, but existing since very first versions of Ivy) and so do all major services methods (like resolve, publish, ...). This is a problem to address IVY-399, because it implies defining a cache root (which wouldn't necessarily have a meaning with IVY-399) from many different points.

After having asked on the mailing list, nobody seems opposed to remove this:

Hence I will remove this attribute, and raise a specific error if used to ask people to comment on this issue if they actually use this.

So if you are using this attribute, please comment on this issue and tell us what you are using it for.
