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.
