feat(http): set custom default cache in $http.defaults.cache

When we need more control over http caching, we may want to provide
a custom cache to be used in all http requests by default.

To skip default cache, set {cache: false} in request configuration.
To use other cache, set {cache: cache} as before.

See #2079
