Optimize installs with apt-fast and various minor cleanups. (#35)

* Fix cut regression.

Originally fixed in #17. This was reintroduced when master was sync'd to staging.

* Update pre_cache_action.sh

* Switch to CLI safe apt command.

Address concern in issue #23.

* Optimize installs with apt-fast and cleanup logging.
