There should be a --no-cache flag to disable cache from being saved

Reported by 93m4qau...@gmail.com, Jan 3 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.108 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
N/A

Steps to reproduce the problem:
N/A

What is the expected behavior?
Since there isn't a setting to disable cache, at least there is a --no-cache flag to disable cache from being saved.

What went wrong?
There is neither a setting to disable cache nor a flag to disable cache.

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.108  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: 

It's frustrating when sites are frequently being crippled by cache, and each time you have to go to chrome://settings/clearBrowserData to fix the problem (and not so, soon afterwards).

Command line flags aren't intended as a workaround for websites that don't handle caching correctly.  Also, we already have too many - we should be removing rarely used command line flags, not adding more.
Do you know of any extensions that block caching?
No, I don't.  I believe all a WebRequest extension would need to do in order to manage that is attach a "cache-control: no-cache" header to all outgoing requests (Modifying the cache-related response headers wouldn't work, because extensions are hooked up at a higher layer than the cache).
