fix(cache): replace @azure/ms-rest-js with @azure/core-rest-pipeline

[salmanmkc]

Summary

Removes the abandoned @azure/ms-rest-js dependency from @actions/cache to fix the punycode deprecation warning on Node.js 24+.

Problem

Using @actions/cache triggers the following deprecation warning on Node.js 24:

(node:2110) [DEP0040] DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated. Please use a userland alternative instead.

Root cause: @azure/ms-rest-js → node-fetch@v2 → whatwg-url → tr46 → punycode

Solution

Replace @azure/ms-rest-js with @azure/core-rest-pipeline which:

• Is actively maintained by Azure
• Does not depend on node-fetch@v2
• Exports the same TransferProgressEvent type we need

Changes

• package.json: Replace @azure/ms-rest-js with @azure/core-rest-pipeline
• src/internal/downloadUtils.ts: Update import
• src/internal/uploadUtils.ts: Update import
• tests/uploadUtils.test.ts: Update import

Testing

• All 116 existing tests pass
• TypeScript compiles successfully
• Verified no punycode deprecation warning when loading the package

• v5+: DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated setup-node#1364
• node-fetch@v2 dependency triggers "DeprecationWarning: The punycode module is deprecated" Azure/ms-rest-js#491

• Updates all TransferProgressEvent imports across source and test files
• Removes obsolete transitive dependencies from the lock file
