[ccache] ccacje direct mode without fall back to running the preprocessor

[vkr]

Hello
First of all, sorry about the typo in the subject/title of my post.

I run ccache in read-only mode itself. But, I still see that after the
direct cache lookup fail, it falls back to running the preprocessor.
That's exactly what I wanted to avoid.

It seems to me that having an option to avoid preprocessing after a
direct-cache-lookup fail is still a very valid option if the user
knows that preprocesor will result in a failure/he purposefully wants
to avoid it.
I hope my justification is valid.
