sam build arg cached=false / turn off cache

[elliottyates]

Describe your idea/feature/enhancement

It would be great if sam build could accept a parameter to override the samconfig.toml's cached = true setting. I see only --cached (setting to 'true') in the possible build args (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/sam-cli-command-reference-sam-build.html).

Additional Details

Context: Builds are failing using VS Code AWS Toolkit run/debug config, cf aws/aws-toolkit-vscode#2395. Being able to "turn off" the default caching in samconfig.toml as a workaround, using sam / buildArguments, is what I was thinking of.

Workarounds:

• Use a different --config-env (but this requires duplicating whatever might be e.g. in default.

thanks @elliottyates for raising this request.
I think this can be done by providing --no-cached flag. I believe this should be a small change.
