 * Controls the caching of resolution errors for artifacts/metadata from remote repositories. If caching is enabled for
 * a given resource, a marker will be set (usually somewhere in the local repository) to suppress repeated resolution
 * attempts for the broken resource, thereby avoiding expensive but useless network IO. The error marker is considered
 * stale once the repository's update policy has expired at which point a future resolution attempt will be allowed.
 * Error caching considers the current network settings such that fixes to the configuration like authentication or
 * proxy automatically trigger revalidation with the remote side regardless of the time elapsed since the previous
 * resolution error.
