Jesse Pretorius (odyssey4me) e31b259cb5 Revert "cleanup: don't update_cache when adding a new repo" ...

This reverts commit d8e1f4d83c
because the tasks are implemented that way for the following reason.

If apt_repository fails to update the apt cache after updating the
configuration, retries don't register there was a change and so no
attempt is made to update the cache by the module on the second attempt.
This failure can result in a failure to install packages.

This change adds an apt module task to update the cache if the
apt_repository task registers a change. This means updating the cache
will get retried on failure and no longer fail silently.

This was all explained in the commit message for
I41de2b9a98977bb89de812a9fbc85a9f99d62942 but no notes were
added to the tasks, resulting in the confusion. To prevent this happening
again, we add the comments from Id059dbec3466cb1ef3ea567249f52384a8ade515
into these tasks.
