Allow users to provide multiple build cache paths during compilation.

Describe the request
Create a new config build_cache.core.extra_paths that contains paths of other precompiled cores.
During the compilation phase the arduino-cli will look for precompiled cores present in the directories listed in the new config build_cache.core.extra_paths.
What happens when the user sets both the --build-cache-path and build_cache.core.extra_paths config ?
- the
arduino-cliwill always look for the extra_paths present in the config, and then the one in the--build-cache-pathflag. - In case the precompiled core doesn't exist, the write destination will be the one provided with the
--build-cache-pathflag
What happens when the user sets only the build_cache.core.extra_paths config ?
- the
arduino-cliwill always look for the extra_paths present in the config, and then the one in the default location (the temp directory). - In case the precompiled core doesn't exist, the write destination will be the default location (the temp directory)
Describe the current behavior
Currently is not possible to read the precompiled cores from multiple path.
We can only read the in the default tmp dir, or in the provided path of --build-cache-path
