Enhancement: In Portable Mode, Make Cache Files Computer-Specific to Support Syncing Portable Installations Across Multiple Computers (eg, via OneDrive) #3926

Description

@EnigmaSolved

Implementing this request would help somewhat with #2684. I sync my portable installation via OneDrive, and I currently have a custom script that deletes \UserData\Cache\UWP.cache and \UserData\Cache\Win32.cache every time I unlock my computer so that Flow will rebuild the cache based on the current computer.

@onesounds Has created a Recently Used plugin (for which I am very grateful!) and very cleverly made the caching machine-specific, in the form of cache_COMPUTERNAME.json.

So taking inspiration from that, my request/proposal is that if Flow knows it is being used in Portable Mode, that the cache files be computer-specific, similar to the following examples:
\UserData\Cache\UWP_FIRSTCOMPUTERNAME.cache
\UserData\Cache\Win32_FIRSTCOMPUTERNAME.cache
\UserData\Cache\UWP_SECONDCOMPUTERNAME.cache
\UserData\Cache\Win32_SECONDCOMPUTERNAME.cache

Thank you in advance for considering this request! 😊
