[Feature Request]: --no-cache flag for webpack@5

[Andarist]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I often (well, from time to time) find myself editing node_modules by hand to debug a particular problem with some dependency. And webpack@5 with its persistent caching might make this process rather difficult - because it would require changing a config.

Actually you already have --cache=false here, but I'm not sure if this right now can disable persistent caching and Tobias has kinda redirected me to here with this feature request. If this is already handled - then sorry for reporting and feel free to close this.

Describe the solution you'd like
a special CLI flag that would disable persistent caching for a current build

Describe alternatives you've considered
n/a

Additional context
webpack/webpack#9802 (comment)

This is actually good if it's not present already! It will be too handy for the user to use it from CLI
I don't think right now the persistent caching flag is there. Is it @evenstensberg?
But as far as the webpack@5 is concerned, I guess we can wait for the major release as that is currently in beta, and then it can be added in the CLI. What do you think?

[evenstensberg]

We can add the cache flag for the new cli

Would be great to at least prepare a PR for this before webpack@5 hits stable, but please do whatever you see most appropriate here

[evenstensberg]

Can do both
