Optimize/clean up cache clears when saving/deleting FieldConfig entities

Problem/Motivation

In #2482295: Rebuilding field map with many bundles/fields is very slow → , we noticed that we're very likely doing too much cache clearing in post/pre save/delete.

The render cache clear in FieldConfigBase should no longer be needed, we should cover that through view display cache tags already.

We could also look into moving the manual clearCachedFieldDefinitions() methods into the new EntityManager::onFieldDefinition*() methods.

And optimize them to no longer require to rebuild fieldMap and possibly even change it to write-through to the field map cache.

    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!
