Subject: [PATCH 1/2] fix: use rolling cache key for clcache on Windows to get
 cache hits

The static key caused clcache to restore a stale entry after every MSVC
runner update, resulting in 0 hits / 701 misses on every build run. A
sha-based key with a prefix restore-keys fallback and save-always mirrors
the rolling strategy used by ccache-action on Linux/macOS.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix: split clcache into restore/save steps, drop
 deprecated save-always

actions/cache v5.0.5 marks save-always as deprecated and "not working as
intended". Replace the single cache step with a restore step before the
build and a save step after, guarded by always() so it runs on build
failure too. The save is skipped on an exact cache-hit to avoid redundant
uploads.
