chore(setup_helpers): remove dead cpp_flag_cache and fix parameter typo (#6085)
Remove the module-level `cpp_flag_cache = None` variable and its stale
comment "Every call will cache the result". The actual caching is handled
by the `@lru_cache` decorator on `auto_cpp_level` directly below.
Also rename the typo'd parameter `obg` to `obj` in `no_recompile`.
Nothing passes this argument by keyword, so there is no API break.
Part of #6084

This is the safest but slowest choice (and is the default) - will always
recompile sources.
