ViewHelper to disable template compiling

Inserting this ViewHelper at any point in the template,
including inside conditions which do not get rendered,
will forcibly disable the caching/compiling of the full
template file to a PHP class.

Use this if for whatever reason your platform is unable
to create or load PHP classes (for example on read-only
file systems or when using an incompatible default cache
backend).

Passes through anything you place inside the ViewHelper,
so can safely be used as container tag, as self-closing
or with inline syntax - all with the same result.

## Examples {#examples}

### Self-closing {#self-closing}

```php
<f:cache.disable />

```

### Inline mode {#inline-mode}

```php
{f:cache.disable()}

```

### Container tag {#container-tag}

```php
<f:cache.disable>
   Some output or Fluid code
</f:cache.disable>

```

Additional output is also not compilable because of the ViewHelper
