Leave caches out of the walk by default (closes #181)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

The default excludes now cover caches that programs and package
managers fill again on their own. On Linux: /var/cache and, in /root
and in each home in /home, .cache, .npm, .cargo/registry and
go/pkg/mod. On macOS: /private/var/folders, /Library/Caches and, in
/private/var/root and in each home in /Users, Library/Caches plus the
same four. README and scan --help list them; --no-default-excludes
still turns them all off.

- The default excludes cover caches as well. On Linux they add `/var/cache`. In
`/root` and in each home in `/home` they add `.cache`, `.npm`,
`.cargo/registry` and `go/pkg/mod`. On macOS they add `/private/var/folders`
and `/Library/Caches`. In `/private/var/root` and in each home in `/Users`
they add `Library/Caches` and the same four. `--no-default-excludes` still
turns them all off (2026-11-11, https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/sfdupes/issues/181)
- `dwim` takes the `scan` flags `--workers`, `-x`, `--no-default-excludes` and
`--exclude`, with the same meaning. Both commands register and check them with
the same code (2026-11-11, https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/sfdupes/issues/162)
