Consider using FileCache to use pre-generated file caches shipped with core and modules

Problem/Motivation

Drupal's installation and cache building process is slow and takes a lot of memory.

Proposed resolution

With the introduction of FileCache and a FileCacheChained Backend it has become feasible to pre-generate a cache/ directory during module packaging time including all of Twig templates, and compiled YML files.

This speeds up installation and cold cache cases a lot and would work for core and any module downloaded from drupal.org or by re-generating the caches with a script.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
