Too many "found valid index for ..." messages

[Flamefire]

This message is printed to often cluttering the output. For a regular build I see it at least 2 times which is confusing. For --try-update-deps I see full screens of this message which is annoying

I'd suggest to cache the results or at least for which folder an index was found and suppress the message.

The 2 messages come from locate_files and robot_find_easyconfig. The others from search_file which, doesn't cache index-results as robot_find_easyconfig does.

@Flamefire Can you share your EasyBuild configuration (output of eb --show-config)? I think that's a factor here as well...

I don't think so. Checking the mentioned sources shows the calls to where the message is printed.

Anyway:
