Use ccache to accelerate windows build (#14064)

Summary:
With cache hit and compiler option optimization, the compilation time build time is reduced from 40 min to 2 min. Overall build time is reduced from 60 min to less 20 minutes on cache hit on majority of the source file. On 100% cache miss, it would be around 40 minutes.
