build: add --without-node-code-cache configure option

So that it's possible to build without code cache (in particular,
without building mkcodecache) for testing.

Refs: #28845

build: do not build mksnapshot and mkcodecache for --shared

To build mkcodecache and mksnapshot (they are executables),
we currently build libnode with unresolved symbols, then build
the two exectuables with src/node_snapshot_stub.cc and
src/node_code_cache_stub.cc. Each of them write a C++ file to
disk when being run. We then use the generated C++ files & libnode
(with unresolved symbols) to build the final Node executable.

However, if libnode itself is the final product, then we should
not build it with unresolved symbols.
#28897 added the two stubs
for the libnode target when the --shared configure option is used,
but it did not get rid of the actions to build and run mksnapshot
and mkcodecache for --shared, so to get it working we also
need a patch to make sure --shared imply --without-node-code-cache
and --without-node-snapshot, until we actually fix the TODO so that
mksnapshot and mkcodecache do not use the libnode that way.

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • documentation is changed or added
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

Added another commit to make sure --shared imply --without-node-code-cache and --without-node-snapshot, and fixed the test.

I believe the vcbuild.bat needs to be updated to reflect the new flag. Refer to #28845 (comment) for more info.

vcbuild.bat dll uses --shared which should just imply the new flag with this PR?
