systemd does not cover this, and I am not sure it should. There's a
reason why .cache is defined to be in $HOME and not in /tmp or /run after all...

If you want to redefine .cache like this, then I'd probably just add a
few system-wide shell profile lines that symlink .cache into
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/cache or so. After all that is a tmpfs whose lifetime
is bound to the user being logged in, and it has a per-user size limit applied.
