Linux: Don't drop dxvk cache files on desktop, use ~/.cache directory

Description
When I start a virtual machine which has 3D acceleration enabled, and then launch a 3D app in it, VirtualBox creates a file named "VirtualBoxVM.dxvk-cache" right on my host's desktop.
Most operating systems have specific locations where applications can create such files. Under Linux, ~/.cache comes to mind. It could perhaps also go to /tmp.
But it should not clutter up somebody's desktop.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open VirtualBox
- Create a VM with 3D acceleration
- Install OS in VM (in my case: Win 11 Pro)
- Install a programm in the guest OS that uses 3D (in my case: Creality Print)
- Run the program
- Watch the file appear on the desktop of the host
System:
- Linux Mint 22.1
- Kernel 6.8.0-51
- VirtualBox 7.1.4 r165100 (from its official repo)
- NVidia drivers 550
