Backport #10730: Create noindex.cache if missing

[mergify]

Fixes #9891 by creating the file if it is missing.

Depends on #10728

QA

This will work on Linux:

cabal init -m -n --simple --lib
mkdir repo
echo "packages: ." > cabal.project
echo "repository local" >> cabal.project
echo "  url: file+noindex://$(pwd)/repo" >> cabal.project
cabal build

For Windows, the path has to be un-cygwinize and prepended by //./ as described in #10728.
