[OE-core] [PATCH] gobject-introspection.bbclass: Disable writing to $HOME/.cache/g-ir-scanner

Investigation of an end user going over their quota in the user's home
directory showed that the gobject-instrospection is writing files into
the ~/.cache/g-ir-scanner when building -native packages.  The test
package in this case was gdk-pixbuf-native.

Setting the GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE in the bbclass should be all that
is needed.  The qemu wrapper was already setting this properly, but we
also need it for the -native builds.

export GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE=1
