While Linux and Windows have Boost preinstalled, on macOS, it is not.
As downloading and building boost takes a lot of time, caching the
resulting install dir can result in considerable resource saving.
The shown example was tested here:

Successful cache hit:

* Use different IDs for 1) getting the directory of yarn cache 2) the cache itself
Using the current example + https://github.com/actions/cache#skipping-steps-based-on-cache-hit,
I came to a wrong conclusion that I could skip a step
if the `cache-hit` was `true` -
the ID I used was from the wrong step -
the `get yarn cache directory` step,
instead of the `get yarn cache itself` step.
I've updated the example in hopes that it'll be clearer for others aswell!
