  1. Allow to overwrite ACTIONS_CACHE_URL environment variable

    The runner script sets the `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` using the value from the
    system connection. Currently, there's no way to override it.
    
    Some community users use custom cache solutions with self-hosted
    runners. They need to maintain a fork of `actions/runner` or
    `actions/toolkit`, and `actions/cache` to override the value in their
    solution. However it leads to significant maintenance work.
    
    If the runner script allows the `ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` value to be
    overridden by the `CUSTOM_ACTIONS_CACHE_URL` environment variable, it
    makes life a lot easier for the community, includes myself.
    
    An alternative solution could involve allowing the base URL value in
    `actions/toolkit` to be overridden. Several individuals have submitted
    similar PRs to this one actions/toolkit#1695,
    but they have not received adequate attention from the maintainers.
