Port TS PR 61505 - Cache mapper instantiations

[jakebailey]

This is an early port of microsoft/TypeScript#61505, because I like to go fast

Calculating the key increases allocs by a bit (really wish we had the yet-to-exist Go custom map implementation), but for https://github.com/AnswerOverflow/AnswerOverflow/tree/1ab687793a598789a0c86b4ca5f17ee6f3a256aa/apps/dashboard:

TypeScript 5.8 vs 5.9:

(Instantiations look higher than 5.8 or 5.9 because tsgo's metrics sum up instantiations between all concurrent checkers)

Pull Request Overview

This PR ports TypeScript’s PR 61505 to introduce caching for type mapper instantiations, aiming to reduce repeated instantiation overhead and improve performance.

• Added a stack of active mappers with per-mapper caches backed by sync.Pool.
• Updated instantiateTypeWithAlias to check and store in those caches.
• Cleared mapper caches after each inference in getInferredType.

Reviewed Changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File	Description
internal/checker/inference.go	Inserted clearActiveMapperCaches() after each inference loop
internal/checker/checker.go	Added activeMappers, activeTypeMappersCaches, cache logic in instantiateTypeWithAlias, and push/pop/clear helper methods

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (2)

internal/checker/inference.go:1332

• [nitpick] clearActiveMapperCaches() is invoked inside the loop for each inference, leading to repeated map clears. Consider moving this call outside the loop or only once per context to avoid redundant operations.

		c.clearActiveMapperCaches()

The other "global" caches don't use two separate lists in the Go port, instead scoping them together, but I'm keeping them separate since I'm trying to reuse the maps.
