tar issues on Windows and macOS

[agilgur5]

Hey, thanks for making this to simplify the cache config for GitHub Actions!

I'm trying to add this to TSDX to try to speed up our CI in jaredpalmer/tsdx#625, but we run a test matrix including Windows and macOS, and we're getting tar usage errors there that make caching not possible on those platforms 😕

On Windows, getting: tar.exe: Option --force-local is not supported
Run link: https://github.com/jaredpalmer/tsdx/pull/625/checks?check_run_id=518042349

On macOS, getting: tar: could not chdir to '/Users/runner/.cache/yarn'
Run link: https://github.com/jaredpalmer/tsdx/pull/625/checks?check_run_id=518042358

The default yarn cache directory on mac is ~/Library/Caches/Yarn/v6 where I guess the v6 is subject to change as yarn changes its cache format.

The more robust way of getting the cache directory would be capturing the yarn cache dir command IMO

The Windows issue seems to be coming upstream, from @bahmutov's fork/PR here: cypress-io/github-actions-cache#1 .
And that's a fork itself of actions/cache, which is a good bit farther ahead and seems to have changed its tar handling since: https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/eb78578266b7cec649ab65b6f1534bd6040c838b/src/tar.ts

Guys I am having similar issues connected to tar package. We are running self hosted github runner on centos system and getting following error on npm-install step:

...

/bin/tar: /github/home/.cache/yarn: Cannot open: No such file or directory
/bin/tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
##[warning]The process '/bin/tar' failed with exit code 2

Anybody can help with this? Or @bahmutov ?
Edit: we are using cypress/included:4.8.0 as base container.
