FileBasedCache LOCATION: the documentation says that the path should be
absolute, Django accepts absolute or relative.
In https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/cache/#filesystem-caching
It says:
"The directory path should be absolute – that is, it should start at the
root of your filesystem."
The code makes them absolute:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/core/cache/backends/filebased.py#L22
Enforcing the LOCATION to be specified only in absolute way might have no
gain and would have backwards compatibility problems for deployments that
are passing the directory using a relative path.
A possible way to improve the situation without or minimal backwards
incompatibility changes would be to add a new check (thanks Carlton for
the idea).
