perf(caching): improves caching of loader and optimizer

[OlenDavis]

This PR contains a:

• bugfix
• new feature
• code refactor
• test update
• typo fix
• metadata update

Motivation / Use-Case

1. Performance refactor / race-condition fix:

This PR eliminates the race condition where the loader or optimizer may do the same processing (same transformation on the same image) redundantly if the same file transformation's loader is triggered more than once before the first transformation has finished.

2. Fix npm start

Didn't work before; now it does. (With as little change to the prior scripts as possible.)

Breaking Changes

None that I'm aware of.

Additional Info

This PR doesn't eliminate all possible such race conditions, namely if the same image transformation occurs between the loader and the minimizer, because the transformers are different functions (because the minimizer functionality is different than the generator/loader, even though the underlying operation is the same), it's still possible to have redundant image transformations if one transformation happens via the loader, and the same transformation happens via the webpack optimize hook.

We can't do it in loader:

1. this._compilation.getCache is unavaliable in multi threading mode (thread-loader)
2. Also this plugin is using by rspack too and such api is not working there

This PR eliminates the race condition where the loader or optimizer may do the same processing (same transformation on the same image) redundantly if the same file transformation's loader is triggered more than once before the first transformation has finished.

Can you provide reproducible example?

Also I think we can use WeakMap in the loader to prevent such situations
