• 🧹 [chore] Remove legacy caching system

Removes the legacy caching system and integrates caching directly into the module.

• 🚀 Motivation: The old caching system relied on a separate ColorScriptCache.ps1 file included in each script. This approach was redundant and less efficient than module-managed caching.
• ✅ Benefits:
• Simplifies script structure by removing cache check headers.
• Improves performance by centralizing caching logic within the module.
• Reduces the module's footprint by removing ColorScriptCache.ps1.
• 🛠️ Details:
• Removes the ColorScriptCache.ps1 file.
• Removes cache check lines from all scripts in the Scripts/ directory. 🚫
• Modifies Get-ColorScriptMetadataTable and Get-ColorScriptEntry to no longer exclude ColorScriptCache.ps1.
• Updates Build-ColorScriptCache and Clear-ColorScriptCache to accept pipeline input. 🌊
• Updates tests and documentation to reflect the changes. 🧪 📝

• ✨ [feat] Enhance script selection with wildcards

This commit introduces wildcard support for script names across multiple commands, enhancing flexibility and ease of use.

• 🌟 Implements wildcard matching for script names in Show-ColorScript, Get-ColorScriptList, Build-ColorScriptCache, and Clear-ColorScriptCache.
• This allows users to specify patterns like aurora-* to target multiple scripts at once.
• 🏠 Adds tilde (~) expansion for profile paths in Add-ColorScriptProfile, allowing users to specify paths relative to their home directory.
• ⚠️ Introduces warnings for unmatched patterns in Show-ColorScript and Get-ColorScriptList, informing users when a specified script name or pattern is not found.
• 🐛 Fixes a potential issue in Invoke-LintPass where ScriptAnalyzer might fail with custom settings; retries without settings in such cases.
• 🧪 Adds new tests to validate wildcard functionality and tilde expansion.
• 📝 Updates documentation to reflect the new wildcard support and tilde expansion.
