This is helpful if we have a stateful issue where e.g. font rendering
may change between tests, so a test compared with a screenshot
of the same reference taken for an earlier test might fail.

Clearly in such a situation we should fix the underlying bug, but
disabling caches is preferable to mistakenly classifying many tests as
failing.

In addition, disable screenshot caches for Android 14, since that
platform seems to have such an issue.
