Exclude large binary packages from build cache

Pushing large binary packages, such as nvhpc
, cuda
and possible Intel compilers/mkl takes a long time.
This is due to the process of scanning the large package, and the slow single-threaded compression algorithm used by spack.
The time taken negates the benefits of using build caches, as these packages do not require compilation.
