Cherry-pick of #8236.
Explanation: ThinLTO performs cache operations synchronously on a thread pool. If they happen to be slow (e.g. using a remote cache with poor latency/throughput), the requests can block threads for a long period of time and slow down the build. This patch makes cache requests asynchronous and starts performing codegen locally, avoiding unnecessary waits on slow cache.
Risk: Moderate. The changes are non-trivial and the asynchronous nature makes it hard to programatically test.
Testing: Existing tests exercise the affected code path, manual testing with fault injection was performed but not easy to replicate in automated tests.
