GHA/windows: fix perl 5.40.3 bump fallout with custom-built modules

Perl got bumped from 5.38.4 to 5.40.3. The new version crashes when
loading the `Win32::Process*` modules built and cached in CI. The build
job uses Perl 5.38.4.

To avoid the crash, include the Perl version (hashed) in the cache key,
so that it's only loaded when the Perl version matches.

This solution is imperfect, because some of the jobs will not use the
Perl modules in transition periods, when different jobs use different
Perl versions. Anyway, can't think of a better one for now. Another
option is to drop the effort with these modules. After all they did not
help with crashes and hangs, nor with performance. While adding quite
a bit of CI complexity.

Also:
- test early if the modules load and log the result.

Follow-up to 52775a7fb4ba63d66d60067dea4a5293fb7c55a1 #18296

Closes #18425
