CI: kernel: use ccache to speedup workflow

Use ccache to speedup kernel compilation.
Ccache dir is cached across each build test. To refresh ccache directory
we generate an hash of the kernel include files, that includes the
kernel versions of every kernel supported and the kernel compile
includes.
