Douglas Ma a7d5f45515 [2.x] fix: Reject java.io.File as cached task output type (#8766)
Change the behavior when a cached task's output type contains
java.io.File: instead of silently skipping the cache, throw a
compile-time error with a message recommending xsbti.VirtualFileRef,
xsbti.HashedVirtualFileRef, or xsbti.VirtualFile, and linking to the
caching documentation.

Internal sbt tasks that return File types are wrapped with
Def.uncached to opt out of caching.

* [2.x] fix: Reject java.io.File as cached task output type

Use @transient on File-returning keys in Keys.scala instead of
wrapping tasks with Def.uncached in Defaults.scala. This ensures
build users who rewire these tasks also get caching skipped
automatically.

- Add @transient to 19 File-returning taskKey definitions in Keys.scala
- Revert Def.uncached wrappers from Defaults.scala
- Error at compile time when File is used as cached task output type
- Update error message to recommend @transient and link to docs
- Update scripted tests to use @transient approach

Fixes #8762
