Unclear why Customer-managed agents don't support dependency caching

Problem description

Given Announcing dependency caching for Pulumi Deployments it's not immediately clear to users of Customer-managed agents that dependency caching isn't required as the customer manages the agent's environment. The assumption can be made that they're missing out on a nice feature when in reality they have more control.

Suggestions for a fix

Could be helpful to explain this discrepancy and educate on how this works locally via a section or blurb at https://www.pulumi.com/docs/pulumi-cloud/deployments/customer-managed-agents/

Is this something you'd be willing to contribute, or should we place this in the docs backlog?

@shughes26 I am happy to start a PR 🙂

There's no mention of customer-managed agents in the blog post, so assuming that @smithrobs would want to add something like an Info block here: https://www.pulumi.com/docs/pulumi-cloud/deployments/faq/#dependency-caching
