Small optimization for the CI pipeline. (#15088)

* azure-pipelines: cache csources to speed up build

Building csources takes about 2-4 mins, and since it hasn't changed for
a long time, employ some caching to cut the time spent.

* azure-pipelines: remove ppa avoidance configs

Testing shows that there aren't any difference between having this and
not having it, so removing this to simplify the code.
