There is a problem with the existing sstate checksums since CCACHE
itself is not being excluded, only CCACHE_DIR so you'd end up with
sstate built using ccache and sstate built without using cccache with
different checksums. This change unifies those to have matching sstate
checksums.

So with and without use of the class, the checksums should now be the
same.
