domManip incorrectly adds "?_=NNNN" to passed <script>s

[andrew@…]

Tested in Firefox 5 on Linux with jQuery 1.6.1.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run the following code (e.g. in the Firebug command-line):

$(document.body).append( "<script src='foo.js'></script>" );

2. Observe the URL that was loaded.
   Observed: .../foo.js?_=1309887155209
   Expected: .../foo.js

Explanation: domManip() calls evalScript(), which in turns calls $.ajax() without specifying "cache: true". $.ajax() adds a parameter to the script elements to force it not to be cached.

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project! This is intended behavior.
