`FastRouteRouter#getCacheFile` to provide cache location about mezzio-fastroute HOT 3 OPEN

@boesing we must consider opcache in this context.

Also, when designing the new API for the caching for fastroute v2 I've thought about exposing a method for cache invalidation but didn't get to implement it yet.

Maybe this is the kind of thing that we should solve on the upstream package?

I'm not sure I understand the need for this. You can set the location of the config file:

    'router' => [
        'fastroute' => [
             // Enable caching support:
            'cache_enabled' => true,
             // Optional (but recommended) cache file path:
            'cache_file'    => 'data/cache/fastroute.php.cache',
        ],
    ],

Once you stored it in the configuration you can retrieve it and delete it inside a cli command. The default location is also known as it is hardcoded. So basically in your cli command you can check if one of the files exist and remove it.

@geerteltink Yes, I could pass it via config and read it from config. Thats exactly what I am doing as of now. But since the cache_file is not a required option, it can also be missing from the config and thus, the default property value from the FastRouteRouter would be used.
There is no way of getting that value.

@lcobucci TBH; I have a very strange use-case for removing the cache file and thus, I don't think that its worth to have something implemented from this library. I would be fine with deleting it by myself but if you want to add that feature, I would probably use it.
