Pull Request Overview
This PR modernizes Rust dependency caching across all GitHub workflows by replacing manual actions/cache configurations with Swatinem/rust-cache@v2, which provides specialized optimizations for Rust builds—specifically avoiding caching of incremental build artifacts while focusing on compiled dependencies.
Key changes:
- Replaces verbose manual cache configurations with concise
Swatinem/rust-cache@v2usage - Adds custom cache keys for cross-compilation targets (linux, intel, windows)
- Updates action version pins in bundle-desktop-linux.yml for consistency

Inconsistent version pinning: some workflows pin to SHA 98c8021b550208e191a6a3145459bfc9fb29c4c0 while this uses @v2. Use the same pinned SHA across all workflows for consistency and security.

This action does all sorts of optimizations that are useful to us. Our cache is way too big and most of it isn't useful (it caches a bunch of incremental build artifacts from our own code, when we really just want to cache compiled dependencies)
