Neil 13b10e0b54 ci: cut PR wall clock by caching what CI recomputes every run (#15211) ...

None of these change what CI checks — they remove work the runners
repeated on every PR.

- install-node-dependencies installed with --no-frozen-lockfile, so every
  job re-resolved the graph against the registry to recompute what the
  lockfile already pins. Measured at ~62 MB of packument metadata per job;
  the pnpm store cache does not cover the metadata cache, so this was paid
  ~39 times per run. The `git diff` guard that made the re-resolution
  redundant stays.
- --ignore-scripts leaves node-pty with no build/Release, so
  ensure-native-runtime node-gyp-compiled it in every job asking for a
  runtime. Cache the build under an ABI-bound key (runtime, resolved Node
  version, node-pty patch) with no restore-keys, since a partial match is
  exactly the mismatched build that would be recompiled anyway.
- The four fetch-depth: 0 checkouts pulled full history including every
  historical blob (blobs are ~89% of this repo's pack). They only need the
  commit graph for a merge-base diff, so fetch them blobless. Measured
  30-43s each today versus 8s for the shallow checkouts. One of them,
  e2e-paths, gates the entire E2E chain.
- E2E jobs ordered setup-node before pnpm, which meant setup-node could not
  find the store and no E2E job cached dependencies at all. Reorder and
  cache; this sits on the critical path in both the build job and each
  shard.
- git_compatibility rebuilt Git 2.25.5 from a pinned tarball on every PR.
  Cache the build; the sha256 assertion still guards the miss path.
- typecheck ran three independent tsc passes back to back and discarded the
  .tsbuildinfo each project already emits. Run them concurrently and cache
  the incremental state.
- package (windows) built the electron-vite targets serially via
  build:release. Use a :parallel variant that overlaps them, matching what
  the Linux package job already packages and smoke-tests from.

Contract tests cover each new cache's ordering and key so none of them can
silently start serving a stale or ABI-mismatched artifact.
