Sometimes we need to disable Electron disk cache, for example - when we generating jpg-thumbnails for inclusion in pdf. I have added new athenapdf commandline switch --disable-http-cache which is similar to Electron.

I'd be happy merging this with --no-cache. I am wondering if we have a case where we want to disable HTTP cache, but not disk cache or vice versa. I think it is better hiding the implementation complexity.

I agree that it would be better to make disable electron cache with --no-cache option instead of introducing a new one.

I updated pull request, now disk cache disabled with same --no-cache option.
