Wrench's Zig mirror service currently caches 404 errors for files that are expected to be available, like files from releases (see: hexops/mach#1416, https://github.com/mlugg/setup-zig/issues/33).
This PR checks if the requested file belongs to a stable version and has a version number greater than 0.5.0 (see: https://github.com/mlugg/setup-zig#adding-a-mirror), and prevents caching 4xx/5xx errors for those files, since it is expected that these files should be available later.
As a followup, we should also check if the version of the file being requested corresponds to the version string of the latest Zig master or latest Mach nominated version and not cache 4xx/5xx errors for those as well.
A better approach may be to read the index file and ensure all versions present there won't have their 4xx/5xx errors cached.
