perf(coderd/dynamicparameters): skip caching introspection render calls

The first render in ResolveParameters() is purely for introspection to
identify ephemeral parameters. The second render validates the final
values after ephemeral processing.

Previously, both renders were cached, causing unnecessary cache entries.
For prebuilds with constant parameters, this doubled cache size and
created entries that were never reused.

This optimization:
- Adds RenderWithoutCache() method to Renderer interface
- First render (introspection) skips cache operations
- Second render (final validation) still uses cache
- Reduces cache size by 50% for prebuild scenarios
- Improves cache hit ratio (was 4 misses/11 hits, now 1 miss/2+ hits)

For 3 prebuilds with identical parameters:
- Before: 2 misses, 4 hits, 2 entries (introspection + final)
- After: 1 miss, 2 hits, 1 entry (final values only)
