Unfortunately UiAutomator does not tell us anything about accessibility tree changes between findElement invokations. That is why caching of snapshots could cause the unconsistent behaviour described in appium/appium#14586. This PR eliminates snapshots caching, so now we are going to refresh the tree for each element being snapshotted.
