What is your feature request?

It would be nice to have a way to disable the cache in lightwalletd with a config field or an environment variable so that there's no initial sync and the gRPC method are purely a proxy for the node's RPC methods.

How would this feature help you?

This could help reduce storage requirements when using lightwalletd with Zebra, including in Zebra's CI.

add -nocache to disable compact block file cache

This fixes issue zcash#480. Enabling this option decreases the performance of
gRPCs GetBlock and GetBlockRange, but conserves disk space (the size of
the database is currently around 17GB).

This fixes issue zcash#480. Enabling this option decreases the performance of
gRPCs GetBlock and GetBlockRange, but conserves disk space (the size of
the database is currently around 17GB).

Note, specifying this option will also delete the existing cache (so if
you start again without --nocache, the cache will need to be recreated).
