pythongh-1547: Recommend --config-cache for configure
30a3410 
Add ``--config-cache`` to all relevant ``./configure`` invocations in
the front page and setup-building guide, matching what the WASM
commands already do. Add a brief explanation noting that ``config.cache``
should be deleted when switching compilers or significantly changing
the build environment.
