Fixup version of @fatteneder's patch here #50918 (comment)
Caching
/compiled
in CI works great in 1.11 because of #49866 which moved away from mtime tracking to fsize and file hash tracking.1.10 is in the awkward position of having more stdlibs out of the sysimage and still using mtime, so it's actually a noticeable regression in CI cache effectiveness julia-actions/cache#85
Note that this also removes the current special casing check skip for stdlibs. i.e.
Skipping mtime check for file $f used by $cachefile, since it is a stdlib
For this to be a viable patch backport it needs to be very safe.
