Fixes #12102
To cleanup caches from PR branches once they are merged, the current approach is to create a script that list all the caches for the PR ref, gets the IDs, and then iterate through each ID to delete the cache. This approach is also used in the official GitHub documentation. Having to do this scripting and choosing some number for the limit of caches to fetch, which might not include everything, seems needlessly complex.
This PR adds the capability to pass both
--alland--ref, making cleaning up all the caches after a PR is merged as simple asgh cache delete --all --ref refs/pull/<PR-number>/merge.
