Burn should have an option to cache packages that aren't needed for install but will be needed for repair #5125

Today, if a package is already installed, Burn won't install it again and therefore decides not to cache it. But a repair will by default reinstall the package and need source to do so, causing a source resolution prompt for that package and its payloads. There's Cache=always but that's a sledgehammer in this case. There should be an option for Burn to cache a package if it's being skipped in the plan only because it's already installed.
