Research direction

Start with building-thunderbird/README.md at the “Make your build faster” section and review the existing ccache link. Research the setup steps for ccache and whether sccache is recommended for Thunderbird, then update the guide so contributors can follow the setup and understand which cache tool to use.

Description

I don't think the link at https://github.com/thundernest/developer-docs/blob/master/thunderbird-development/building-thunderbird/README.md#make-your-build-faster really provides any insight on how to set up ccache. I also think it's now recommended to use sccace for Firefox, not sure if that also applies to TB.
