ci: don't save node_modules directory (#41467)

Storing node_modules directory in cache causes a number of issues, such as increase in the laid out node_modules tree and also in some cases break module resolution. This is because modules are not hoisted correctly when running `yarn install`.

Example of related failures https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/angular/angular/30441/workflows/c1a16135-f5c9-478d-a298-d720c6657d52/jobs/952138

A better cache strategy would be to save yarn cache, more information can be found in https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/caching/#yarn-node.
