src/bin/backup: exclude ~/.cache from backup
For two reasons:
1. to reduce the size of the backup. If there's a candidate folder to
be removed in order to decrease the size of the backup, ~/.cache is
that folder;
2. to stop errors during the backup to happen. It's common for files to
come and go while the backup is running, and borg sometimes starts
backing up a file and it vanishes in the middle of the backup, and
returns an error. In the end the backup finishes sucessfully, but
the backup script halts.
